T-Mobile USA said during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Tuesday that it will skip the deployment of an 82Mbps HSPA+ network to instead focus on its recently announced 4G LTE network. The carrier  is currently selling smartphones capable of running on its “4G” HSPA+ 42 network and hopes to begin deploying its LTE services next year. T-Mobile USA’s Andrew Sherrard also said the company will only sell 3G devices from here on out, as it begins offloading its 2G network to make room for LTE.
