Ladies and Gentlemen, China Telecom has finally officially launched its 3G commercial service in Shanghai! The new 3G network signal covers all urban areas within the Outer Ring Road, as well as towns in suburban areas. The CDMA2000-based (that's the network usually used in Europe the U.S.) 3G network technology promises to be 20 times faster than our current 2G data streams - though whether it will ever reach advertised speeds is up for debate. From today to the end of the month, users who have agreed to use 250 yuan in monthly service feeds could get trial 3G Internet access cards and high-speed wireless internet access for 100 hours a month.
