1994 ATT decided to enter the wireless race and merged McCall Cellular combining forces to become the largest nationwide player.Unfortunatley for them they inherited the older TDMA technology that Craig McCaw was busy installing across the country.TDMA was the first digital radio interface in the USA.Now ATT is facing law suites as they add subscribers there networks are failing to meet capacity.Its a matter of time before they bite into CDMA to save themselves from extinction that companies like Sprint PCS threaten them with. MCI Worldcom face a different situation.MCI decided rather then participate in wireless by owning cellular property (spectrum) they decided they would purchase from a reseller and contracted with Next Wave Telecom for Billions of minutes.Next Wave is still in the process of restructuring and some belive it is a very viable situation that will come to play for MCI Worldcom in the future.Next Wave Telecom proposes to use QUALCOMM's CDMA and is a national player in all of the big cities.
