Ok, I did a clean-up, and I still don't like it.

1. I don't like the Rationale section. Too much of it assumes the thing is a done deal. Do you know how many hits the 3GPP website gets if you search for HSOPA on it? 0. That's how official it is. It's a set of proposals from Nortel/TI that isn't ratified into a single, coherent, standard, from what I can figure out.

2. The features thing needs more information.

3. MIMO means two antennas and two radios. That's going to have certain consequences, correct? What are the known downsides of the technology?

I agree, HSOPA is not used at all in 3GPP. A more correct name is Release 8 of the 3GPP UMTS standard --Mattew 12:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
