Eric L, re "it was highly unlikely that Sprint PCS would ever implement 1xEV-DO because it would require dedicating wireless voice capacity to data and instead would wait for 1xEV-DV to be available.", or something similar attributed to CTO Oliver Valente of Sprint PCS. Oliver Valente's viewpoint is totally justified IMHO, if Sprint's spectrum utilization is approaching 67% (2/3) for voice calls, in areas where they have only 5 MHz bandwidth. The utilization during the "busy hour" should be considered so as to not decrease QoS. This is because (1) the 5 MHz BW can only have 3 1.25 MHz BW CDMA carriers, and (2) a carrier allocated for 1xEV-DO can only do data. The restriction is less severe for the originally auctioned 15 MHz bandwidths, but I don't know if they stayed that way. Ron
