OSLO, Norway—Telenor Mobile launched an accelerator that it said will make surfing the Internet faster when using a portable PC, personal digital assistant (PDA) and mobile phone. The speed will be three times as fast as current services, the company said.
The accelerator functions by compressing data and discarding irrelevant information, such as graphics on Web pages, the company said. The service is free to Telenor Mobil’s Internet users.
