But no, they'd rather be straight-jacketed w/ rip-off roaming rates, no free nights & weekends, no free, unlimited in-network calling, blazing data speeds, etc.... all brought on by intense competition between operators using MULTIPLE technologies... QCOM learned from UMTS? They only reason why those chuckleheads in Europe develpoped UMTS was that they saw that CDMA was superior to GSM... and they needed to come up w/ a technology INCOMPATIBLE w/ CDMA2000... The European operators could've deployed EV/DO years ago, had better data speeds than they are just getting now through HSDPA upgrades, and it would've only taken one third the spectrum (making CDMA2000 3X more effcient than HSDPA!!!) I'm glad I can just look across the Atlantic & laugh!
