Can you spell OVERLAY.....works quite nicely and allows BOTH to work side by side, thus allowing your old customer base to use TDMA and your new one to use CDMA. Just block off 1.25 MHZ chunks out of the TDMA space (which looses you about 15 call channels and gains you 30-40 in CDMA space) and convert it to CDMA space. Not hard. Done JUST like analog upgrades were done. Hook these new basestations up tot he already IS-634 compatible switch that they have using Lucent equipment and you can do the upgrade without loosing one phone customer in TDMA space. You can however offload the highest users by buying them out with incentives (free CDMA phone upgrade) and free up alot of capacity. Airtouch did the transition fron analog to digital this way. You can even do this gradually in places where you need it first and go back to competing with the Sprints in New York City where the RF challenges are so tough, that perhaps they never will get it right there. This way the upgrade does not cost you $Billions on the first day, but rahter $Millions per year as you can cost justify it.
