"So why should PCS be interested in spending money to upgrade to 1X? Anyone know?"

If you were just interested in increasing voice capacity and LDR circuit switched data. Then additional non-1X channel cards would be the cheapest path.. But, that is not the reason PCS is going 1X! They are going 1X to launch a packet data network. Along with this all packet data network will come their Push to Chat (BTW Nextel has a trademark on the term Push to Talk) product. Which requires installing new switch infrastructure!

Make no mistake about it. PCS's drive for a total 1X packet network is born in their P-T-C product
