Tokyo 250Mbps mobile supernetwork speeds into life

[Guest tsutton]

Japan's largest operator has built a mobile network offering massive download speeds of 250Mbps.

NTTDoCoMo's network near Tokyo is only a test, but the operator expects to complete development of the technology next year. Commercial networks could follow soon after. It's pushing technical standards to the limit in magicking out the 250Mbps speed, although it claims speeds could in theory reach 300Mbps. Upstream data can be transmitted on the network at up to 75Mbps.
