Taiwan looks to make wireless leap beyond 3G

Even so it is Saturday evening, we just have to write about our findings. Call it passion, call it amazement, but well, it is also fun to see how things develop across the globe.

Just when Philadelphia wants to build a city-wide Wifi network, Taiwan takes it a step further (so we don't believe that the respective leadership has talked to each other). The government has said that it "plans to blanket this island's cities with wireless networks that are integrated with cellular phone services by 2008 as part of an ambitious US$1.1 billion project, called M-Taiwan." Wow, talk about ambitions.
