3G Feeds

I just picked up a Vodafone wireless broadband card for my upcoming trip to Italy, well it is my honeymoon. I picked up some advice from a local Italian techno-geek, like myself, that this was the best solution to get wireless internet access when I am in Italy. Hopefully, it won’t cost me an arm and a leg as I am sure that I won’t be using it too much while I am there. But, if anyone has any pointers on the service offered in Italy I am all ears.

Why is it that we can build stealth fighters here, but we can’t deploy high speed wireless technologies as fast as they do in Europe? Maybe someone can explain this to me. I understand people want to make money, but if you are going to upgrade your network to one standard, why not just skip a generation or two so that we can be on par with networks that are deployed all over the world already? Ok, I am done with my rant now.

During the year, 3G broadband will be progressively extended to other cities (Porto, Braga, Coimbra, Aveiro and Leiria this June) and regions of mainland Portugal and the islands, reaching the main urban areas by the end of the year. When a customer moves into areas still without 3G Broadband coverage, the Vodafone 3G Broadband Mobile Connect Card automatically switches to 3G or GPRS, which are available throughout Portugal.
