Unsaid and perhaps unknown by Mossberg is that they won't do that because they use TDMA and adding capacity is much more expensive than for their competitors -- further they will have to junk it whenever they move to 3G. It looks like AT&T has painted itself into a corner with the wrong technology.

T will be adding capacity by expanding their network. It is still much more cost effective than starting from scratch

They are also fully committed (at this time) to upgrading their network to EDGE Compact (85% IMT-2000 compliant). It is T's belief that EDGE is sufficient for Wireless data in the US.

I'm loooonnnngggg Q and there is nothing I would rather see than T go to CDMA. We are kidding our selves if we think this will happen anytime soon.
