CDMA: The “Betamax” of Wireless

You have to love a Toronto Star story today that describes Telus’ contemplation of moving from CDMA to GSM as “the wireless equivalent of moving from Betamax to VHS”.

I’ll give the reporter, Chris Sorensen, points for creativity but it’s a bit of a stretch given Betamax lasted about a decade before pretty much disappearing while CDMA is still alive and kicking, although it’s losing a lot of ground to GSM. If Telus does decide to pull the trigger on GSM, I wonder how long it will take Bell Canada to follow suit?
