Why would Verizon want to have its existing spectrum using CDMA2000, and spend $5B to do so, yet use WCDMA in any new spectrum?

Unless it faces significant problems with CDMA2000, it would seem that if Verizon adopts WCDMA in new spectrum, it will be inviting unncecessary complexity and costs.

Roaming, schloming. By the time WCDMA is viable, the multi-mode phones (and therefore the consumer who pays for them) will take care of the issue, not the networks.

Vodafone's statements surely suggest tht the cabal is hard at work. But why Vodafone? What does it gain from trying to force Verizon into using WCDMA, if multi-mode 'phones will solve any roaming issues in new spectrum? Perhaps there is a misunderstanding and Vodafone in fact does want to force Verizon into using WCDMA in existing spectrum.

Perplexing.
