Wouldn't AWE be able to maintain its analog customers while switching to GSM? At some point the TDMA customers could simply be advised to trade in their TDMA handsets for a GSM replacement. However, the real problem with AWE is its very substantial debt. Although a company with the clout of AWE does not have difficulty borrowing money, high debt is likely to result in years of low profits and/or substandard system features as AWE tries to do business at the lowest level of performance in an effort to keep costs down.

This is one more reason why I believe the competition from CDMA, especially when CDMA customers can access data faster and more reliably, will eventually force AWE to move to CDMA.
