Well I have seen so much conflicting information that it is hard to draw any reliable conclusion. From a non expert point of view it would seem that the basic science in CDMA allows for better use of Moore's law to improve efficient spectrum use. Also, I suspect that eventual demand for data transmission on .cell phones will far surpass what the phone companies seem to be expecting. A excessively lengthy voice transmission ties up a users time but data flow can be done while the user is otherwise occupied, too much data is better than too little, etc. If true , the real point of the article is that CDMA has no advantage. This lack of competitive advantage means no need to go to CDMA for any "need to speed" rather than lack of desire for speed in general. This exchange really should be on the QCOM or gorilla thread...
