At the Morgan Stanley's annual Communications Conference, Ralph de la Vega said engineers already have a 3G network up and running in the labs at speeds of 7.2 megabits per second, or approximately double the theoretical throughput of its existing network.
He also added, that his firm has "a clear and logical path" to 700MHz 4G access via the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard in the 2010 timeframe which should again increase speeds fivefold to nearly 100 megabits per second.
This is great news for the ucoming iPhone version 2.0 and also the Blackberry 9000 (announced yesterday) and is similarly slated to be released on the AT&T network.
