Bruce,

<< what system will bell/vodafone use? cdma?? >>

Help! Misquote, mistake, wishful thinking, am I confused?

Article you linked says:

> Bob Wilkes, an analyst at Brown Brothers Harriman, said the Vodafone move was part of a long series of mergers among jostling telecommunications heavyweights. He added that BellSouth and Ameritech could be among potential future partners, since they share CDMA technology. CDMA stands for code division multiple access and is one of the digital mobile phone systems. <

BellSouth is GSM and also TDMA & CDPD. Ameritech is TDMA is it not?

Is Wilkes talking about potential partners for T (BellSouth, SBC whose entities are both GSM and TDMA)?

Am I more confused than usual?

Exciting times in US Mobile Wireless. Can't tell whose on first without a scorecard, acronym finder, or technology guide.
