Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / August 2003CDMA loosing ground?
In some markets in the US, as well as in the country of Brazil, CDMA is being dumped in favor of GSM. It would appear that while Verizon is bidding for a CDMA contract in Iraq that CDMA may be a failing communication system in other areas. Both Nokia and Siemens are joining in the effort to establish GSM in areas where CDMA has been predominant. It's absoultely rediculous, because GSM isn't the better system. CDMA is, by far. I think the major weight with GSM is that its been so standardized in the rest of the world. > In some markets in the US, as well as in the country of Brazil, CDMA is > being dumped in favor of GSM.

It's clear what the handset makers are behind, its clear what the wireless equipment manufactures are behind too. Unless current gsm providers go cdma route. No we dont have to be the same as the rest of the world in our wireless laguage but in communications easy of use and coverage is the name of the game.
