They need to add more spectrum. 5MHz isn't enough in most metros to handle both voice AND data traffic.
Eg. in Los Angeles, AT&T has 17.5MHz of GSM/EDGE spectrum for voice and data, while they are using 5MHz for both 3G voice and data.
3G capable phones will prefer 3G networks to GSM for voice and data, adding fuel to the fire.
I thought ATT (75mil users) had 95Mhz of spectrum in LA. T-Mobile (30mil users) has 50Mhz.

Valencia, CA		 Hell no.
AT&T is running Cell A (25MHz - 12.5MHz paired) and PCS D (10MHz - 5MHz paired) as well as PCS B3 (10MHz - 5MHz paired)
