Monday, January 11th, 2010In a recent news release, Telefónica Group announced that it is the first network operator in Spain to launch flat rate plans with Internet browsing speed rates of up to 21 Mbps. The company also announced significant web browsing enhancements as a result of deploying Bytemobile’s Web Optimization application, stating that subscribers that were previously browsing at speeds of 40Kbps in GPRS are now reaching 170Kbps as a result of Bytemobile’s optimization technology.
