Death watch for CDMA?
Verizon Wireless, one of the world's leading CDMA-based carriers, has thrown its support behind LTE - Long Term Evolution - for its next generation technology upgrade. LTE is part of the GSM evolution path, as contrasted with UMB - Ultra Mobile Broadband - also known as EVDO Rev C, on the CDMA path.RCR Wireless reported on Vodafone CEO, Arun Sarin, and Verizon chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg, speaking about their technology choice at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference last week. Vodafone and Verizon control Verizon Wireless through a joint venture.
Given cross-border roaming relationships, can we begin to anticipate the implications for wireless carriers in Canada?
Once again, a bold capital investment decision from Verizon.
