Mike (and Ben), article edited. Thanks for the info – somewhere along the line something got lost in an article further up the chain, and it’s just filtered down like chinese whispers until it’s totally wrong.

That’ll teach me for writing blog entries for weekend scheduling at silly times of the morning

Mike (comment 2): hear, hear!

Can this article PLEASE be re-edited?

It reads like the person thinks they know what they were writing about, but that they jumped to the wrong conclusion.

…and then all the trackbacks are also jumping to the wrong conclusion!

The author’s responsibility is to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of news. One out of two isn’t good enough.

Er…some sub-editing needed here Ewan

HSUPA is an addition to the UMTS HSPA standard, enabled in 3GPP Release 6. It is in the same family, on the same roadmap, and isn’t a separate, new thing.

What it does is enable the same Upload performance enhancements due to packet scheduling that HSDPA delivered to downloads. So it’s just the uplink side catching up with the downlink side. You’ll see much better upload speeds, streaming from handsets to the net, etc.

Category 4 HSUPA allows for up to 2Mbps theoretical maximum upload.

Let’s keep it real by using ‘3.5G’ as the general term for HSPA technologies. Salesmen love the ’super’ ephitet, but it just confuses the hell of most people. Also, your N95 will display ‘3.5G’ when using HSPA, so it will become common parlance shortly anyway.

Cheers,

Mike
