AT&T’s HTC Inspire 4G gets FCC permission to enable HSUPA

AT&T’s teased that a number of its existing models will eventually have HSUPA enabled, which might actually help mitigate the flack they’ve been taking up branding a network with glacial uplink speeds “4G.” The recently-launched HTC Inspire 4G is definitely one of the models with disabled HSUPA out of the box, however the excellent news is that it shouldn’t be disabled much longer: an FCC Class II Permissive Change — which gets generated when a tool’s RF characteristics are modified — has just hit, clearly stating that “HTC Corporation will enable HSUPA function of this product.” There’s no period of time for the switch, but at the least we all know it’s going to happen sooner or later; just try to not turn your Inspire into an FTP server meanwhile, alright?
