The Internet, as you know it, is already riding on TDMA legacy systems. There is a migration to delivery by ATM & Frame relay (which is packetized), but your backbone is still DS-3 and T-1. You're connection to an ISP is still DS0 for modem traffic and ISDN. However, CDMA is a better system when it comes to spectral efficency and a bit more robust in the interference department than TDMA. Throw a CW carrier in the middle of a Fractional or full T-1 data channel and you pretty much kill it. Throw a CW carrier on a CDMA channel, it will work around it, but the speed or available users will be reduced.
