3G Rollout: Will Cellcos Dump GSM For CDMA?

The battle between CDMA and GSM, which generated much heated debate and controversy in India when the Reliance group and the Tatas rolled out their CDMA services some time ago, will eventually be resolved in favour of the former as the industry moves onto providing next generation services.
