Orange France launched today a 7.2 Mbit/s
HSDPA service called
3G+ for business customers in the city of Lyon. The lucky Lyonnais business folk will have downlink speeds up to 7.2 Mbit/s and uplink speeds up to 1.4 Mbit/s, thanks to high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) and high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), respectively.
