The corresponding upstream service is HSUPA, at either 1.4 or 1.9 Mbps. AT&T is building out this higher speed network.

There's additional revenue for Apple despite the crumby services and lack of customer choice. Apple is in business to cultivate sales and customer loyalty. I think they've proven to be very successful on both accounts. AT&T, not so much. But, then again, monopolies really don't have to try very hard. http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/43405#comments Wireless / Mobile Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:06:16 +0000 Smithwill 43405 at http://www.networkworld.com/community http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/43377 THere are taller building is in Dubi.
