U.S. carrier AT&T tied for third with Telstra, Telia and Softbank, where users reported average download speeds of roughly 990 Kbps. Australian carriers Optus and Virgin users reported the slowest speeds of about 390 Kbps on average. [...]
When the iPhone was launched there were numerous ‘mobile web is dead’ debates, as the launch led with the demo of viewing the New York Times in it’s large screen glory. Now, it appears, the NYT is prone to commenting on the threat to the desktop PC that the iPhone poses, with new focused and [...]
