Actually, pretty much all areas are covered by digital. The problem
arises that there are several digital implementations in the United
States, including iDEN, IS-136 (more commonly known as TDMA), CDMA
family of technologies, and the GSM family of technologies. Not all
areas have all these digital technologies, and some will be (are being)
phased out (TDMA and iDEN).

It depends. How many years after the original flight did the return
take place?

Actually, that is not necessarily true. GSM is an TDMA based
technology, just like IS-136 which is commonly known as TDMA in the
United States and Canada. GSM generally has better battery life than
IS-136 TDMA phones that are comparable.
Also, since CDMA2000 specifications are not the basis of W-CDMA/HSDPA
specifications, it would stand to reason that things will not be all
equal between the two.
