Lindy: No! The only overlay will be in the WCDMA format. The need for speed is catered for well with existing evolution plans. Coverage in most place is fully deployed with only pico sites expanding coverage in a cost-effective manner compared to that of an IS-95 overlay.

The WSJ today had a little chart showing future maximum data transmission speeds anticipated for year 2003 from CDMA, GSM, and TDMA. The maximum for wireless users in 2003 by all 3 technologies was the same, 384,000 bps. The article did note that CDMA should be up to 2 million bps for stationary users by 2003. The apparent source of this is a Yankee Group report.The subject of the volume of data capacity or voice wasn't in the article. If correct, this would indicate that there isn't going to be any great "need for speed".
