Re: Why not make an Universal Device

They could (and in the past have) done some cross back end infrastructure.
Eg. CDMA / GSM phones for Verizon and Sprint
GAIT (GSM/TDMA/Analog) phones for Cingular and AT&T Wireless
WiFi/GSM/UMTS and WiFi/CDMA/EVDO for wireless data cards

Typically, they're different back end platforms (i.e. ANSI vs. MAP) vs. ??? for WiMax using various types of hardware registrations (ESN on AMPS/TDMA/CDMA vs. IMEI+SIM for GSM/UMTS) . I suspect that MAC addresses would be used on WiMAX and many other data centric devices.

Re: Why not make an Universal Device

ANSI and MAP are for the Network Subsystem, MSC to MSC and MSC to HLR. Wi-MAX is the access side which would compare to the Basestation Sub-system, IOS, BSSAP, RNAP, etc.
