"Do you understand that TDMA-based GSM (and IS-136) face an extraordinarily cumbersome and expense migration path
to high speed data? Do you know that GPRS will require essentially a complete network overbuild in order to achieve
114kps? Do you understand that EDGE will subsequently require new handsets, on top of this new infrastructure, to push
data rates only to 384kps+. Do you understand that Phase I of cdma2000 will yield 144kps data rates, double the voice
capacity of existing IS-95 networks, and BE BACKWARD COMPATIBLE with existing handsets in the field? Do you
understand the deployment advantages, and flexibility, of cdma2000's 1.25mhz design? Do you understand that operators
with 5mhz of spectrum can mix and match voice channels and high speed data? Do you understand that Phase I can be
deployed as a field upgrade without replacing existing infrastructure? Do you understand the tremendous economic
advantage that this confers to IS-based, CDMA-centric, operators? The capital investment and performance deltas between
TDMA and CDMA are shifting even more dramatically in the latter's favor. Meanwhile, Phase II of cdma2000 pretty much
puts the nail in tdma's coffin longer-term.
