WHAT:

Two years ago this month, CDMA2000 became the world's first commercially deployed IMT-2000 3G wireless technology. Today, there are 22 CDMA2000 networks throughout Asia, the Americas and Europe and nineteen more are scheduled to deploy in the coming months. These commercial rollouts are providing global operators significant advantages such as 3G data applications at speeds of up to 2.4Mbps.

Today, the CDMA Development Group (CDG) released real-world facts, as reported by operators, on CDMA2000 3G experiences including data speeds, applications and average revenue per user (ARPU).
