Vivo will maintain CDMA technology as well, Granadeiro said. "Vivo decided to evolve its technological platform, maintaining CDMA, and having GSM available before Christmas," Granadeiro said. "After that, the intention is to migrate both technologies to third generation." Granadeiro said the necessary competitions to install the GSM systems will be launched in an investment plan that will extend over three years. "We will become a company with two technologies," Granadeiro said, adding it will be up to clients to chose between CDMA or GSM services. © Reuters 2006. All Rights Reserved.
