MTN Nigeria has expanded commercial availability of its 3.5G services. The HSPA service was first unveiled in December 2007, and the company has now launched new devices and price plans. Coverage is initially available in 12 cities in nine states and will be expanded further alongside growth in the GPRS network, reports BusinessDay. The mobile operator offers either a data card or USB modem to access the 3.5G service, dubbed F@stlink.
