from the- Sunday Observer

it was back in 2011 when Dialog first started launching a 4G test program which offered 50-100mbps data speed across a 4G LTE network ,during the very same time period Mobitel tested out their 96 mbps pilot program , fast forward to 2012 and we see a huge increase in smartphone and tablet adoption in Sri Lanka ,as the usage increased , Networks soon had to shift to higher data speeds and packages , a fine example is Etisalat who recently launched South Asia's first dual carrier network only a month before the new Iphone 5 was launched which made Etisalat one of the first networks to directly launch it as a carrier based device ,and made one of the best HSPA networks , if not the best network in the country , but now it has a new challenger in town , say hello to Dialog 4G who launched its first TD/LTE network 4 days ago( sorry for the lateness ) well what exactly is TD/LTE ....TD LTE stands for Time division / long term evolution , standard LTE has 2 channels , one for upload and one for download , but TD/LTE has a single channel that supports both upload and download so the speed will differ according to what you are doing on the internet , its much more cost effective to run a TD/LTE network since it requires little overhaul to the network unlike the bigger LTE networks which cost billions of dollars to set up , and since Dialog had used WimaX earlier its quite possible that they upgraded their Wimax to TD/LTE standards .........according to Dialog reps , the entree package costs Rupees 1400 ( $11) and offers 25GB data with 4mbps data speeds which will differ and might even exceed 4mbps (20 mbps max)according to usage , currently Dialog's TD/LTE will start from the Colombo City area and will expand to the rest of the island .

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored.
