Do you agree public funding should be used to support mobile operators to more broadly deploy Open RAN?

Hutchison Whampoa’s Danish 3G operation, 3 Scandinavia, switched on its High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) network on Tuesday, delivering download speeds averaging 1Mbps to 1.5Mbps and peak speeds of up to 3.6Mbps.

The higher speeds will initially be supported buy data cards targeted at business users but consumers are likely to benefit from more accessible mobile video and music.

Morten Christiansen, CEO of 3 in Denmark said the company would be pitching the service as a substitute to fixed broadband solutions in the country, benefiting traditional mobile users, smaller enterprises and households.
