Yes, but you have to realize that many, many, technologically
incompatible (but based on similar ideas) versions, or flavours, of CDMA
can exist.
Technically speaking, the TDMA that Cingular/AT&T utilize is not the
same as GSM or iDEN, with are both technologies based on TDMA, yet
neither of the three are compatible with the other two.
One thing I have also noticed, is that when you call a Verizon Wireless
customer who you have talked to a lot, sometimes you can tell when they
have upgraded to a "1x" phone. Of the friends that I talk to on a
regular bases, those who have upgraded to a 1x phone sound farther away,
and thier voice is not as clear as it was on their old handset.
I have to admit, if cellular is going to get more efficient, but sound
quality is going to go down, it's going to start to defeat the purpose
of cellular. Ideally, there should be additional spectrum allocated to
data-only, while the current spectrum (850/1900) should be allocated to
voice only.

How many customer have they lost? How many have they gained? What is
the net change since 24 November?
