Re: Ion.
said by DaveNJ  :Lets see there are 2 Billion GSM users, and 3 million cdma users. Thats a significant economy of scale. No...those are just two suspiciously round numbers. What orifice did you pull them out of? Don't you know what economy of scale means?
The fact you can go into a store just about anywhere in the world and get a quad band phone that will work worldwide... ...has nothing at all to do with this topic.
3Gsm(umts) is being added to just about every gsm network. So when all the nextel people who must buy new equipment, because of frequency changes... Whoa there! What new equipment? What frequency changes? Who's getting the existing frequencies?
could be buying easily accessible sold worldwide handsets. Sprint should just forget Wimax and go HSUPA, at least in metro areas. Maybe they will get some roaming revenue. So precisely how will this benefit Sprint in any way? Has it still not dawned on you that Sprint has no GSM infrastructure? By what stretch of the imagination do you believe that Sprint could possibly recoup the massive capital investment necessary to build a completely different physical plant (from scratch, no less)? "Maybe they will get some roaming revenue" is not a business plan! |
