voop, >>long haul network and wireless carriers can, do and will co-exist. << Those long haul networks are in fact how all IP data will reach it destination. They are a necessary complement to all access networks to go long distance. They are what long distance trunk lines were to local exchange phone companies. A data centric system with customer access using something like HDR, and long haul lines like GX is the landscape of the near future. Soon most voice, including wireline voice traffic also will go VOIP and on those IP (MPLS) long haul networks. You are right, wireless calls don't go over base station to base station across the country. Today, voice goes on switched PSTN (public switched telephone network) and data goes on IP networks. When VOIP comes to wireless (soon), all of that will go on IP. Sounds like a big plan doesn't it.
