MWC: New alliances, new enemies
BARCELONA–Are the technology wars over? Today at the Mobile World Congress (formerly 3GSM World) GSMA CEO Rob Conway officially welcomed CDMA operator Verizon Wireless into the fold. During his keynote today, Conway said the GSMA would “reach out to include the Verizons of world” because as operators we have so much in common, whether we run GSM or CDMA networks. Apparently the wireless world is now unified. CDMA and GSM have found a common cause. That cause is the fourth-generation technology Long Term Evolution. But like any cause, there has to be an enemy, and Conway made it pretty clear that enemy is no longer CDMA, but WiMAX. more
