. . . CDMA's capacity advantage goes beyond this ratio when dealing with data since data is bursty in nature. This is particularly true for the kind of data I think you envision as being popular, little bits and pieces of data being sent and received, not a constant full-motion video/sound stream. So, if rudimentary data services
become popular, CDMA has better than a 4:1 capacity advantage.


Currently, every CDMA carrier offering data is doing so using circuit switched rather than packet switched techniques. All carriers would appear to have luke warm expectations for data, at least in the near term.
