To All,

The idea of AT&T switching from TDMA to CDMA makes no sense at all for 2G operations. T has billions of dollars invested in TDMA infrastructure and the advantages of CDMAone will never justify abandoning that sunk cost. T can continue to milk it's TDMA system and claim that they will use EDGE for 3G, but they don't have a huge investment in EDGE. If AT&T is going to move to a form of CDMA it will be for 3G. No matter what brand of 3G AT&T uses it will require a massive build out. Assuming that 3G CDMA systems will be superior to the alternatives, as we all believe, that would be the logical time for T to go CDMA.
