Reflecting the sort of thinking that parallels discussions of whether to upgrade from 10-Gbps Ethernet to 40-Gbps, or simply go straight to 100-Gbps, T-Mobile International AG indicates it now wants to upgrade directly from high-speed packet access (HSPA) to the 4G Long-Term Evolution standard.
Basically, T-Mobile says it will do what it can to wring all the efficiency it can out of HSPA and then move directly to LTE, rather than migrate in two stages to LTE, as some other mobile carriers propose to do.
The decision basically means T-Mobile will attempt to move directly from peak downlink speeds of 14.4 Mbps to LTE supporting 50 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
