IMO, it is a big red herring to continue the argument about technical superiority until capital flows return to this part of the market.

Sprint PCS has about $200 million left to spend to complete their 1x upgrade. The subsidy for 1x handsets shouldnt be much larger than for non-1x handsets. For this investment, they will realize a near doubling of voice capacity. This will have an immediate effect on Cash Cost per User (which is around $34). Any drop in this metric is realized directly on the bottom line of the carrier....

The best thing for their EBITDA would be to launch 1x....
