Bux, you are right; I was imprecise when I lumped GSM and CDMA together. My point was that T's TDMA would show inferior "density" (again, my word for the new Yankee metric)--thus inferior ROI/ROE--when compared to networks of carriers using non-TDMA RFs. I lumped GSM (Omnipoint, North American GSM Org.) with CDMA because of my understanding, perhaps incorrect, that although GSM is a variant of a TDMA RF, I thought that GSM had better spectral efficiency than "pure" TDMA. Is that not right?

Re: Steven, you have made the mistake of grouping GSM and CDMA in the same boat when discussing spectral efficiency.

Steve Happy Holidays, Bux
