Just think — this time next year, we’ll all look back at this milestone and wonder how on Earth we thought it was impressive. For now, however, we wouldn’t blame you for high-fiving everyone around, as NTT DoCoMo has stretched the boundaries again with a recent Super 3G field test. Reportedly, the outfit was able to record “a downlink transmission rate of 250Mbps over a high-speed wireless network in an outdoor test of an experimental Super 3G system,” and while it’s not quite the 300Mbps we’d heard about before, you won’t find us kvetching. If all goes to plan, the firm is hoping to “complete development of the technologies required for the eventual launch of a Super 3G network” by 2009, but who knows how long we Americans will have to wait to indulge after that.
