Re: the cost of overlaying with gsm versus cdma Sorry If I am using wrong terminology but with the chatter of ATT going Cdma I am curious what the relative cost is of overlaying old systems with GSM or CDMA equipment. If CDMA really does give better performance at a lower or comparable cost pure economics should help decide ATT wireless' future. Can anyone talk about this?
