I believe it. WCDMA (or whatever it will be called) is expected
to peacefully coexist, in it's own spectrum, beside GSM until
the GSM systems can no longer be upgraded and/or have been
effectively depreciated to a zero dollar value.
So sayeth Mika, and also the Real Orange Peel.
And I think JGOREN believes this also.
In high density cities, where GSM systems are saturated with users,
I believe that CDMA overlays will supplement GSM.
In areas where no current coverage exists, then I would not attempt
to bet which systems (GSM, TDMA, or CDMA) will be chosen.
The folks with the budgets and/or political influence will most
likely make those decisions.
So it wouldn't hurt to own a good CDMA supplier/patent holder, and one or two good GSM/TDMA/CDMA system integrator/cell phone makers.
So anyway, I wouldn't entirely agree that it's a kick in the "ouch !"
sack for CDMA after all. Rather than that, I think it's just the
natural progression of technology.
How we follow (and adjust to) this progression, will determine who will retire early like Wise Ole Maurice :-)) ...
Them's just my opinions.
Best,
Mardy
