Eric L: Just out of curiosity is there any bridge or path from EDGE to WCDMA (DS)? If so, what is it? And would it be the same for EDGE on GSM and EDGE on TDMA?

And DoCoMo is clearly not moving from EDGE, since EDGE is not planned in Japan as an "interim" step [sic.] to WCDMA.

Best, as always.

Chaz

PS And while I am asking you questions, do you (or anyone else here) have any idea what frequency or frequencies DoCoMo proposes to use for its WCDMA (DS) introduction next year at this time - the new to be auctioned, or some part of the current - and if current, what will be displaced?

Eric,

The prospectus for AWE indicates T is moving to EDGE as their 'next or third generation technology'. It also had several disclaimers about potential compatibility problems with TDMA and any future wireless technologies which 'combine GSM and CDMA'.

ATT is doing strong marketing. I get calls from ATT wireless at least once a week. Everytime I tell them I would never take service from such an antiquated system and that TDMA is garbage.
