Coverage is getting pretty tight. I am somewhat sure that the reason that the Internet has not been rolled out in San Diego and LA is that it is saturated and they have no spectrum to allow for data minutes. IF they wanted to do this and they rolled out a mjaor plan to replace every analog phone out there, then they gain back the space. Engineer/Bux, so I guess I'm back to being skeptical about HDR. It looks like some carriers (like Sprint) have quite a bit of capacity, but others don't. Demand for voice is expected to double over the next year. Will it double again in the year after that? Add in internet access @ 384 kps with 1xRTT (even though 1xRTT doubles capacity) and it looks like an explosion in demand for voice and 1xRTT access alone. I would think that even carriers with the extra capacity will have no trouble filling it with voice and 1xRTT data over the next couple of years. Will it make sense for them to allocate spectrum for a widespread rollout of HDR?
