T-Mobile Fires Up 1900MHz HSPA+ in NYC and Other Markets

T-Mobile USA today announced a significant expansion of its 1900MHz HSPA+ service. It is available in 14 new markets, including New York City; Newark, N.J.; Boston, Cambridge and Springfield, Mass.; Providence, R.I.; Philadelphia; Detroit and Warren, Mich.; Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth and San Antonio, Texas; and Tampa, Fla. Many of the devices sold by T-Mobile rival AT&T will be able to access fast data in those areas. T-Mobile is in the process of refarming its 1900MHz spectrum from GSM/EDGE to GSM/HSPA+ so it can use its 1700MHz spectrum for its forthcoming LTE 4G network.
