Gregg...I wonder what percent of that 300mil goes down the drain when ATT goes 3G? This is the question many carriers face today. One of the most interesting ideas to me but probably obvious to others posted in the last few weeks was from Engineer : I think you miss the point. They can overlay only a part of the system in CDMA and part in GSM (i.e just like US AMPS is overlayed) and then have either old phones and new phones, or dual mode phones like Airtouch has today for AMP/CDMA. Thus the operators would be able to have it both ways and upgrade the systems as they see fit. All theold installed base of GSM phones would still operate, but the carriers would have incentives to upgrade to the new standard just like theAirtouch programs going on now So this equipment will probably be used for quite a while. Does one have to be operating in nearby pieces of spectrum for this insertion/overlay to work? As Chaz would say......Respect..Dave
