There is one potential downside for us CDMAers I can think of, and that is if some deal is being made within 3GPP or GSMA in support of 800 MHz GSM/GPRS gear. For the moment GSM has no penetration in 800 MHz (prevalent throughout the Americas and available in China and elsewhere).... Eric, in this vein, isn't that where the T (AWS)/BT hookup that has been bandied about this year would make some sense? Steve

<The sources so far for the conjecture that AWS will use GSM/GPRS and eventually WCDMA (perhaps skipping TDMA-EDGE) seem to be journalist Lynette Luna (who to me is not very credible) and Andrew Seybold (who, IMO, is reasonably credible.> "According to Swedish newspaper reports, AT&T may decide to use WCDMA as its 3G system in the U.S." Do Luna or Seybold write for Swedish newspapers? More likely an inside ERICY leak. Maybe they have been reading that Rockettothestars thread! BTW, what happened to that thread?
