That article on Cingular was kind of bad news to me. Was it known prior to this article that Cingular was going to do
what AWE had done? Since I thought the AWE upgrade path had
been pretty much ridiculed, and since NTT wasn't talking
about giving money to Cingular, I didn't think Cingular would necessarily do the same thing.

Still it does seem like the
spectrum savings of CDMA 1x in current spectrum and equipment savings are not necessarily the major criteria these guys are thinking about. Instead, the focus seems to be on how to get to W-CDMA and CDMA 1x upgrades just don't get them there. The power of roaming seems to be the issue. But then Q announces there RadioOne innovations which would appear to make it a lot easier to have dual mode phones for roaming. Maybe this is why that announcement is so important...
