Gus, << What we have seen in the real world, Maurice, is SBC junking its theoretically superior CDMAOne network and converting it to TDMA (using Nokia and NEC infrastructure) even though it involved giving free TDMA handsets to about 700k or 800k subscribers >> If you recall, Gus, APC Sprint Spectrum did a very similar thing (in reverse) last year with its GSM-1900 network (first operational PCS network in the US) in the Baltimore & DC area, moving all their subscibers to the parallel cdmaOne PCS Sprint Network. Free CDMA handsets in this move. Don't remember the subscriber base (mixed in with Sprints overall numbers) but pretty darned significant. Nothing to do with technology, however, so this not meant to detract from the point of your well constructed post. << DDI on the verge of junking its theoretically superior CDMAOne network and converting its 3 million subscribers to WCDMA >> 5 million now and growing? Egad, thats even worse. - Eric -
