Does anyone know how the US is coming on gsm? I know europe has it down pretty good but the US has been lacking in expansion of gsm for a while now, are they getting any closer to building it out as far as towers and coverage?

Ummmm, you might want to revise your comments re Australian coverage, one
link is GSM the other CDMA.

1st generation analog AMPS mobile is available in more areas than are
digital (of any standard), but coverage isn't anywhere near as
ubiquitous as it is in Europe. Coverage is not all that different
from other large countries such as Australia or Russia for that
matter. GSM coverage in the US is pretty well covered in the larger
metropolitan areas and the highways that connect those areas

You are obviously ignorant of the word coverage, or Australian GSM networks.

thank you both of you for the info, the australian coverage means nothing to
me. I mostly wanted to know about the coverage of gsm in morth america,
mostly because I live here but in my state about 30 miles from the central
part of the state you have no gsm coverage, which truly sucks because the
population is obvisously warranting cdma, tdma and iden to put service
there, so I am trying to figure out why gsm lacks so much. t mobile is the
only one in my state, att is just barely tapped the gsm area and cingular is
not even here, which is odd for company that claims such huge numbers yet
covers very little of the midwest.
