CDMA carriers like Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel and Alltel have been releasing EV-DO 3G networks in many markets across the U.S. lately, and even Sprint Nextel has released EV-DO Rev. A markets already, which promises even faster speeds than the 400-700kbps speeds that the current EV-DO technology provides.
But, for those who can't get enough speed, the CDMA Development Group (CDG) this week announced preliminary details of EV-DO Rev. C, which uses additional technologies to squeeze even more data into a fixed amount of spectrum.
In EV-DO Rev. C, the new standard will incorporate just about every advanced standard to ensure the fastest mobile speeds available anywhere will happen -- technologies like CDMA, TDM, OFDM, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) advanced antenna techniques will be used in the upcoming EV-DO Rev. C standard, which will be called Ultra Mobile Broadband and will be capable of download speeds up to 280 Mpbs.

1. If they will develop 3g for own needins it will be awesome. At my town CDMA is far more cheaper than GSM. I hope they'll integrate new technologies in time
