"Those mobile operators expecting to use Qualcomm's [QCOM] cdma2000 third-generation standard took a heavy hit in November when AT&T Wireless [AWE] aligned itself with the wideband-CDMA (W-CDMA) camp, and again last month when word got out that Verizon Wireless is leaning that way as well." ? "However, Verizon's announcement this month that it plans to increase its global presence would make migrating Verizon Wireless to W-CDMA a likely move, Saunders said. That's because GSM is the most widely used wireless standard worldwide, although it trails both CDMA and TDMA in the United States. With Vodafone and other European GSM operators migrating to 3G capabilities with W-CDMA, Verizon Wireless could link with more international carriers if it opts for W-CDMA. "I think Verizon is going to start moving down a path with a little more international focus," Saunders said. "They want to continue making themselves more attractive to a larger market." ?
