Caxton: T had signed letters of intent with Nortel and LU to upgrade their TDMA network with the latest technology. I called the author of the story and he said that it would not be an upgrade to CDMA.

Just back from a week away so don't know what subsequent posts might offer.

I recall a post on the Buy Range thread several months ago (April/May?) that indicated that T would likely upgrade its infrastructure with LU. An obvious choice for one reason, the old LU/T unity. But the second reason, and the interesting one, was that the poster (may have been engineer, w.molloy, walt, clark) indicated that LU's base station ASICS and other system upgrades for T's TDMA system were better adapted to eventual configuration and upgrade path to CDMA 3G than infra sold by other vendors.

Don't know if this still holds true. In any event, no one ever said rooting out the installed legacy base of GSM/TDMA was going to be easy.

Best regards. Steven
