Anyone know if Fido is doing EDGE trials on their network and when we might
see them roll this out nationally? I don't recall hearing any announcements
and from some contacts I have it seems like Roger is a stones throw away
from national deployment.
A friend is actually using the Rogers implementation and he is getting
consistently over 200 kbps so I'm excited and hoping Fido isn't far behind
on this.

Thanks

EDGE = Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution

Basically it is an enhancement to GPRS that should see throroughputs of 3x
GPRS. Rogers AT&T and AT&T Wireless are essentially done with their testing
and are rolling out. I was wondering what the status (if any) was with Fido

Rogers is about to launch the Sony Ericsson GC82 EDGE PC Card. It would be
nice to see Fido follow suit. Any one have an inside scoop?
