>GPRS doesn't have similar speed to 1X. Try less than 1/4 the speed at roll out for both products.

Wrong, Pete. In reality both are 100 – 200 kbits/s.

>CDMAone operators don't need "deals" to implement 1X, it is a simple network upgrade.

Wrong again, Pete. CDMA1 operator needs a "deal" to get 1X (or did you think it comes free, as, er, free lunch?)

>GPRS reduces voice capacity on GSM system

Wrong again Pete. GPRS is packet data which uses the portion of the channel that the voice doesn´t.

>GSM operators are stuck with GPRS

Wrong again Pete. You could choose not to get GPRS, or you could get directly to W-CDMA. This would not make any sense, though, as it is most desirable.

I was delighted to see the other great thinker CRay33 commenting your mail:
