I just sat through a staff meeting with Mike Armstrong (he's in Alaska on a fishing trip) he talked at some length about wireless, but no mention of CDMA. He was brandishing a Nokia tri mode phone spouting standby and talk times and how both were going to expand. He said that TDMA and GSM were going to wed in 3G to create world wide roaming.

Peter,

I wonder what Armstrong means when he says TDMA and GSM will merge in 3G? A tri-mode phone is not a merging. Is he considering GPRS and EDGE 3G? Is he talking about WCDMA? He certainly knows all about CDMA because before he came to ATT he was at Hughes which I believe was involved in the AirTouch CDMA build out in Calf.

Any ideas?

TIA..Dave
