Don't let GSM 14.4 worry you from the stand point of holding Q shares. For one thing, I predict we will witness a virtual meltdown of AT&T's voice capacity as they ramp up data speeds. 1. cdmaOne circuit switched is running now at 14.4, offered by AirTouch, GTE and Sprint. 2. CDMA2001x.RTT packet switched running at 153 Kbps will begin next year. I heard Bell Atlantic will roll this out, among other carriers. The upgrade is relatively cheap. 3. 1x.RTT will DOUBLE the number of voice channels, while permitting hi-speed packet data. My only worry is that with 153Kbps, who needs 3G?
