New Zealand's 2degrees mobile operator has indicated they will not be offering any 3G services in that country until at least 2010, this according to the Company's CEO, Eric Hertz. Yes, he stated, the cellco is fully 3G capable, but to ensure quality, additional testing and technology implementations are needed, all requiring additional time. The service platform will function on a W-CDMA base with HSPA+ built in, which should manage peak downloads at 4Mbps.

This allowed additional wireless spectrum to become available. For those within the AT&T 3G delivery areas, better signals are expected.
