you think that with T-mo and Cingular Orange and ATT Blue and the alltells of the world in the US, they are not the most dominant standard in the US now?

I think there were 55M cingular and nearly 40m t-mobile users now in the US. That would leave the CDMA services of Sprint and Verizon and older AMPS to pickup the remainder of the roughly 200million users USA wide. I would guess that GSM is now more than 50% combined, but not sure.

I'll check the latest wirelessweek and see. Just for kicks and giggles.
