<< Or did you mean the problems of keeping the old analog AMPS up and running in Verizones network?? (must be a lot of unproductive pain) >> Sure it is a pain. It is the foundation of the Americas wireless system however. Verizon is and has been unequaled in US coverage. They are in process of spending big bucks to combine 3 whole networks and pieces of 2 others. We (US) entered the last decade with a single standard and great coverage. Opposite of Europe. TDMA and CDMA started as ANSI-41 overlays (opposite of GSM). GSM did not invent roaming. The RBOCs did. This is a huge and spread out nation. Population densities very different than Europe. Much more wide open stuff. But verizon delivers coverage unrivaled even in Europe, or at least rivaling Europe. Yes we still rely on AMPS and will till 2005, with remnants to the end of the decade. - Eric -
