The White paper says that the EDGE to WCDMA migration can be accomplished without new infra. Dr. J. says otherwise. What's the real deal here?

According to Nokia all CDMA except W-CDMA, suck. Only way to go as an operator is to continue to write checks to Nokia for the GSPR-EDGE-WCDMA migration. Phones will be available in the near future. Nokia selling a lot of Brooklyn bridges and looks like a lot of operator suckers abound.

AT&T Wireless will be the one to watch, as Nokia anoints them as the vanguard of GPRS/3G in the United States. From the white paper: "The GSM pathway is rapidly becoming the world’s most popular 3G evolutionary route. In what may have been the seminal event of this shift, AT&T Wireless Services has announced plans to deploy a GPRS-ready GSM network incorporating 3G capabilities with triple-mode (GSM/EDGE/UMTS) base station functionality. AT&T Wireless Services is one of the world’s premier voice, data and fixed wireless communications companies, serving more than 15 million customers. "Under an agreement signed in November 2000, Nokia Networks will deliver a GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS-ready base station radio solution as well as network planning and implementation services. The deployment will enable AT&T Wireless to implement 3G, or Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS), service in the United States. "With this move, AT&T Wireless will become one of the first U.S. carriers to offer advanced mobile multimedia and data services. That decision, and the maturation of key evolutionary technologies, demonstrates the validity of the GSM/GPRS with an evolution to EDGE/WCDMA strategy."
