An “available network scan” performed by “Treatz” on a Rogers BlackBerry Bold at 1:01 AM on February 2nd revealed a new 3G network-”302-6403G”. A similar scan preformed in the same area during the day did not turn up the network so testing must be occurring during the night. Check out the image below:
Could this be Telus/Bell’s new HSDPA network which is rumored to be launch by 2010-time will tell.
