<<Of course, if some areas already have capacity constraints these could be made worse until some of the existing subs are using the new CDMA channels.>> NOt really. Each 1.25 MHZ block converted will take out 15 TDMA channels and replace it with 30-40 CDMA channels. then just mail FREE handsets to the poeple wiht bills over say $500 a month in that area and ask them to try the new CDMA handsets. Those that convert will free up a bunch of call minutes for the $50 a month guys on the old frequency. Keep doing that until you have filtered down tot he $200 a month guys, then offer the handsets for $49 for a month or two and the rest will convert. by the time you get to $49 phones, you wil have doubled or tripled your capacity on the network.... Besides these numbers are for the old IS-95. If they upgraded today at the start with 1xrtt, they could get 50-60 users on that strip of frequency. the numbers only get better and they could reserve one of those 1.25 Mhz stips for HDR while they were at it....<gg>
