Euro operators to waste citizen's wealth because their Socialist system stiffels innovation and fails to allocate resources efficiently. "Sprint's investment to upgrade its 100-percent digital, 100-percent PCS network to third-generation (3G) CDMA capability will result in doubled voice capacity nationwide and dramatically increased data speeds. The migration to 3G also will represent better economics for Sprint through improved spectrum efficiency, and the upgrades to the network will be primarily software-based rather than ``forklift''-type, capital-intensive upgrades that other carriers will need for similar network improvements." Sprint will be flying high by installing QCOM's 1X MC CDMA followed by HDR and thus using existing spectrum more efficiently to pump more data and voice. This compares to the problem of Euros and some US operators who need to buy more spectrum at exhorbitant auction prices in order to prolong their practice of wasting spectrum capacity with TDMA, GSM, GPRS and W-CDMA. biz.yahoo.com
