Tero - your comments ... Jon, I suspect the consumers care. They care a lot. And the last time I looked, mobile phone business was still consumer-driven. Even if CDMA turns out to be more economical than GSM, what are the CDMA operators going to do if the consumers clearly show a preference for GSM? Yell at them? ATT runs a TDMA business, and it runs it well. I just do not agree with this. It is possible that the extremely small sample of people with whom I have had discussions regarding how they ended up with their current wireless carrier makes my opinion at odds with what is really going on out there, but people just do not seem to be obsessing over these differences in handsets. They want a cheap monthly bill. And as long as the handset is within some reasonable range of price, small size, ease of use, etc., then no one ever seems to care about having the absolute "most cool" or "most whatever" handset. Also, isn't it common knowledge that AT&T does not run a good wireless business? (I just want to warn you -- I am one who thinks AT&T doesn't really do anything well (except have really great commercials on TV)). Jon.
