More laughs: <By 2007, CDMA's share of the U.S. market will increase only slightly, growing to about 44 percent, EMC expects. Meanwhile, GSM's presence inside phones will triple, from the current 11 percent to about 33 percent, according to EMC.

GSM's growth is expected to come from carriers like AT&T Wireless, which are replacing outdated cell phone networks with ones powered by GSM instead of CDMA, according to Mike Woolfrey, EMC research manager.

AT&T will be lucky to be solvent, let alone gaining vast numbers of new subscribers to GSM. They are not going to install GSM to reduce their spectrum capacity and prevent themselves supplying 3G services. Maybe somebody is confusing W-CDMA with GSM? Good luck with W-CDMA too.

CDMA was late to the USA and has gained enormously anyway. There's no reason for GSM to start gaining market share in the USA having lost it to CDMA for years.

More FUDD.

Life's a giggle for sure!
