The carriers, with the exception of VoiceStream and Microcell, are spending billions to upgrade their networks. According to a recent Bear Stearns report, AT&T Wireless and Cingular are paying from $5 to $8 per POP on upgrading networks to EDGE, to be followed by a $50 to $70 per POP cost to upgrade to wideband-CDMA/UMTS. That compares with the $4 to $5 per POP that Sprint PCS and Verizon Wireless will spend for 1XRTT, which is technically 3G, and the $5 to $8 per POP cost to get to 1XEV.
