Frederick, Here is a post from on of the most technology oriented guys on QCOM thread, Walt Houston: Message 7124130 His post summarizes the reasons why the Europeans want to move from TDMA based GSM to CDMA based W-CDMA. He contradicts your point that you need more towers for CDMA. But the main point is that you get a lot more sale-able minutes out of a CDMA system compared to TDMA. And when you are running out of even a higher capacity, provided by CDMA, there are workable ways to increase it, compared to TDMA. I hope I paraphrased it correctly<g>. Joe PS: all this matter only if Nextel running out of capacity, or if capacity constraints are foreseeable or imminent.
