The Capabilities of HSPA+

Just your average Twitter conversation…

@pnjarich: So, the iPhone 4S tops out at HSPA+ 14.4. Not even 21 Mbps?

@GlennF: @pnjarich Why would anyone need more than 14.4 Mbps on a phone? Who cares?

@pnjarich: @GlennF Operators, that’s who. When you’re trying to maximize network capacity, HSPA+ 21 (or, better yet, 42) matters.

@GlennF: @pnjarich Understood.
