FCC ChangeAfter weeks of anticipation, HTC has announced a future update for the Inspire 4G smartphone to enable full-speed uploads via FCC documents after customer complaints began to surface that it and the Atrix 4G were artificially limited to 300Kbps upload speeds while the iPhone 4 was unaffected.

Speculation then began to circulate that Apple’s iPhone and the mobile broadband device lineup was exempt from the upload cap in order for AT&T to tout its new “4G” network, while capping other smartphones as it waited to deploy the necessary changes to its network to enable full HSPA+ access for both phones without issue.

Additionally, AT&T has broken its weeks of silence on the issue and confirmed with CNET that the Motorola Atrix 4G will also be updated to support full upload speeds along with the aforementioned Inspire 4G, with the update expected in mid-April.
