Actually it was McCaw that went "down the TDMA trail". And for them, a company with a lot of debt, and some initial forays building a first mover advantage as a national roamer under the CellularOne Brand it may have made sense for them to use TDMA. TDMA was a digital standard that was available first and they used it in their advertising to push the CellularOne Brand and collaborate with partners in using digital. After all, ATT did buy them and bailed McCaw out - now once the network had already implemented TDMA, it would have been hard for ATT to not use it.
