First, think that the argument should be, "is there is a need for 3G services?" If not, as it seems most operators would say today, then all systems have an upgrade to the so called 2.5G. The TDMA (both) camps have a slight advantage on the time-line/implementation, and certainly on the number of operators (market). Therefore, the suppliers for these systems should be well set-up for the next few years. If this is the case, then question is; "what system do I need today?" cdmaOne might be the fastest growing, well 1+1 does equal 2...a 100% growth! So what? All future predictions tend to be miles out. It is a case of what "new" 2G operators are going to select and that, without the rhetoric, is still a very open question.
