Re: Verizon renamed vodafone?

I don't get the repeated mention of Verizon switching to GSM if bought. What exactly would someone be buying if they had to get rid of VZ's entire CDMA network? Just the customers?

Verizon regardless of cdma, has to move to newer technology GSM forced operators to move to a MAP core based system, which supports all types of new technology. Verizon still uses an ANSI core. Either way Verizon is going to have to move to a more modern internal network.

If Verizon did switch, they would support both networks until the conversion was complete. Telstra in Australia is doing the exact thing. Converting from Cdma to Gsm/wcdma/3gsm.
