It would perhaps be a zero sum game for QCOM, but for CDMA operators, it would level the playing, taking away one of the biggest advantages of GSM. Hopefully, Sprint and VZ recognize this and make a push to offer multimode handsets, although they have always been laggards in roaming, even among their CDMA brethren internationally.

Good point. It might not add much in terms of unit sales but it could provide a small boost to chipset ASP and also provide another lock for high-end customers to stay with a Qualcomm based handset.

Speaking of terrible roaming agreements, I went to Cancun and didnt have CDMA coverage. They are literally throwing money away by not having agreements in place.
