O2 Germany Replaces GPRS Network With EDGE

O2 Germany announced that 700 sites went live today in Southern Germany, delivering EDGE data speeds instead of the GPRS speed customers have been using when outside of 3G services.

Only now has the carrier decided that a happy medium needs to exist for customers traveling outside of the 3G footprint.
