3g Network | iPhone News Updated

The iPhone 4G is coming but what about the network?

Posted in iPhone News by admin. Published March 9th, 2010

It’s already been well documented regarding how much money AT&T would have to spend to get its network up to the same standard as Verizon, and they are currently upgrading their 3G network. However this doesn’t seem to take into account what will happen when 4G finally appears.

The present AT&T expansion has been much desired by 3G phone customers who in some particular areas have suffered from bad coverage. The upgrades going on in regions such as Florida and New York will be greatly appreciated and is certainly long overdue from AT&T so seems a good use of resources.

However all the talk these days is of the imminent arrival of the 4G iPhone. Nobody knows quite sure when, but we know it’s coming, though it does appear that the 4G network may not be ready for it. AT&T doesn’t look likely to have a 4G network ready until sometime in 2011. So will the iPhone 4G be delayed until then, or maybe Verizon will be offered it instead?

iPhone owners, your TV is going 3G.

After about a month of testing AT&T said it will allow iPhone users to watch their own TVs over the 3G network using the SlingPlayer Mobile app.

The app accesses a Slingbox, which when attached to a home TV tuner or digital video recorder, lets a person control and watch their TV remotely on computer or mobile device through an Internet connection.

AT&T had previously objected to the use of the SlingBox over the 3G network because it was thought the app used so much bandwidth that it could disrupt the network for other users, said an AT&T spokesman.

Slingbox has now been cleared to broadcast because AT&T has determined that the amount of bandwidth needed to transmit video was not problematic.
