Not only will MTS's new High Speed Packet Access (HSPA+) wireless network will launch that day, but Rogers Wireless will make its long-awaited entry into the Flin Flon market.

In addition to improved quality of voice coverage, the new network will provide Manitobans with mobile Internet service at download speeds of up to 21 megabits per second Ð the fastest speeds available in the province.
