Rogers’ newest innovation offers the following: Three times the speed than any other network, offers customers the choice of when and where they can use broadband internet and download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. The netbook also comes with built-in Wi-Fi so you can use a wireless network if one is available.
Vice President of Business Product Management of Rogers Wireless Mansell Nelson said in a press release, “Just as voice communications have long expanded beyond finding a pay phone or waiting until you get home to make a call, as the Internet evolves from a source of information to an enabler of communication, mobile Internet ready netbooks are the perfect companion to our richly connected lives. Rogers is proud to lead this innovative new product category and now offer our customers an even wider selection of wireless products to meet their mobile needs.”
