It claimed that many operators around the world have made substantial investments to improve the coverage and capacity of current networks, including extending EDGE capabilities to the full GSM coverage area.
According to the GSA, there are currently 363 EDGE network commitments in 165 countries, including 313 EDGE commercial network launches in 147 countries. This compares to 287 commitments in 142 countries in May 2007, including 223 launches in 113 countries.
