We ’re ready for the 3 G iPhone , but are AT&T ’s 3 G networks ready for it ? Om Malik raise the scary possibility that AT&T’scomplete HSDPA networkmight be newly strengthened , but still might not be full-bodied enough to handle the barrage of 3 G traffic , rendering 3 G scantily more nimble than EDGE . After a year of waiting for 3 constant of gravitation , that ’s kind of a nut shot right ? Consider this : Even last yr , iPhone users chugged nearly five times the data of an modal AT&T endorser , and twice as much as other smartphone owners .

It was n’t so coarse on the web , because 55 percent of the information was over Wi - Fi . But with 3 G , why hold off for a Wi - Fi hotspot , especially since AT&T ’s 3 gravitational constant is , at least in the NYC region , as blaze as AT&T claims . New iPhone users are fail to get on 3 G en masse , and tear a mountain of data over the air , especially with unlimited data plans . And it ’s fair to assume iPhone user are going to slurp even more than before since they wo n’t have to hit up Wi - Fi to do datum - intensive stuff .

The standard increment in usage from inexhaustible plans with more run - of - the - manufacturing plant phones has already beenposing problems for hustler , forcing a serious motivation toupgrade the backend .

While that composition does n’t focus on AT&T , it ’s deserving noting that two major Korean operator - vaunted for their magic networks - were experiencing degraded representative caliber from the data power hammer . And AT&T ’s internet did n’t have a astral track recordto begin with . So a$199 3 G iPhonethat moves millions of data - whore units could be the worst thing ever , at least if you ’re buying that 3 G iPhone for , well , 3 G data access . The ball ’s in your court of law , AT&T. [ GigaOM ]
