Apple: Will iPhone Multitasking Aggravate Network Congestion?

Here’s an interesting question, courtesy of Light Reading: what impact will multitasking on the Apple (AAPL) iPhone have on AT&T (T) and other wireless networks that there were already suffering from congestion issues tied to intense data usage on the phones?

Well, no one knows, really. But Light Reading quotes a number of sources who are concerned about what could happen when Apple later this month launches an upgraded version of the iPhone OS that will include the ability to run more than on application at a time. The obvious fear: a new round of slow connections, dropped calls and other aggravation.

We’ll find out soon enough.
