Sprint PCS launches in Washington-Baltimore According to today's Washington Post, Sprint PCS launches its CDMA service today alongside the Sprint Spectrum GSM service. Sprint Spectrum was launched in the area in 1996 and has 230,000 subscribers. Although Sprint says they plan to continue the GSM service with no plans to sell, they are clearly emphasizing the CDMA service. Most retail outlets, including Circuit City, Best Buy, and Office Depot will now only sale the CDMA handsets, with the GSM handsets only available at Radio Shack and Sprint stores. Current Sprint Spectrum users get a $25 credit for switching to CDMA. The most telling point is that Sprint will be targeting the GSM system to low-usuage customers. I think that says a lot about the relative capacities of the competing systems.
