GSM To Overtake CDMA In US
It was just a few hours ago that we made fun of a report saying that CDMA2000 networks were dominating the market when it was still very early in the race. As if responding to this question, ABI has put out a report predicting that GSM-based networks are set to pass CDMA networks in the US within 2 years. Of course, we're talking about slightly different definitions of networks here, but for ease of use, I'm dumping CDMA/1x/EV-DO/CDMA2000 in one bucket and TDMA/GSM/GPRS/W-CDMA into another.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
