puss, puss: you're a bloomin idiot. postulating that one company owning the IP increases costs is just plain silly. as previously pointed out the royalty costs on cdma are a fraction of what they are for GSM. Second, WCDMA doesn't work because the companies have tried to create a standard so that many companies own the IPR for their individual advantages. Third, ATT is cheap because it's an antiquated system and to compete it has to charge less. Third, I have been on VZ and Sprint and the service on Sprint is quite good. I rarely have a dropped call and only encounter static when the other party is on ATT or an analog provider.
