If the rest of the world goes CDMA and the whole components community goes with CDMA, then what is ATT thinking? I am so big that I can just make all the TDMA components myself and win?

I don't think they can survive with that strategy.

JGoren,

I read that article and actually thought it was very positive for CDMA. ATT was talking about something that no one would be interested in. Who is going to work on a GSM/TDMA "merger"? If they are not careful, they may end up like Nextel, a niche player. I think ATT is much smarter than MOT, who is going down with Nextel when 3G rolls around.

The article, may just be a negotiation technique so they don't give QC the impression that they are desperately seeking license.
