Grapevine said orange planning on rolling put 3.75g network. Any truth in this?

Rahim, Sorry if I am not as excited nor was for below message either... What's the use of these technologies if consumers cannot access 1 Mbps - despite 2 undersea cables? Or if they do, they continue paying with a limb (or two)? Why continue living a lie? Moving forward in 2010 I think in we need and must resolve to no longer fantasize over technologies but rather question their cost-benefit worth to us as a people. a.
