I know, I know, everyone's heard this before. This time the analysis, interestingly, comes from across the pond:

Any network operator who is facing the decision of which network to buy should consider the upgrade paths of each network. GSM networks were not designed for packet data-- a GPRS upgrade adds this capability but at a higher cost than cdmaOne. Also, the GPRS network is not based on standard IP network elements, which will result in a more complicated integration than the cdmaOne packet data solution that was designed with standard IP in the handsets and with standard IP elements in the network. These standard elements will follow the cost curves of the Internet network elements. Additionally, GPRS and EDGE dedicate network resources to data taking capacity away from the GSM voice network which could cause network congestion. CDMA is a voice and data solution where voice and data share the same resources. 1x also increases data speeds to 144 kbps and doubles the voice capacity of current cdmaOne systems

By incorporating standard IP protocols and network IP routing, cdmaOne sensibly maximizes the leverage it gains from the considerable economies of scale conferred by the Internet. This will allow cdmaOne carriers to offer the equivalent Internet services as GPRS and EDGE operators with a lower overall investment in equipment and human resources and without decreasing voice capacity. Network operators will more readily find the skills to integrate equipment and develop services because the same IP elements are used on the landline Internet.
