http://www.cellular-news.com/story/40756.php The most important part of this piece, if true, is that Q4 LTE wireless technology will make the difference in CDMA and GSM technologies mute:

"In September, T-Mobile was reported to be in talks with MetroPCS. Although MetroPCS is a CDMA operator, it has committed to a LTE launch next year, which offers an upgrade path for T-Mobile USA."

This is huge, just ask Sprint, which was/is CDMA, after choking on Nextel's iDEN technology after buying Nextel.

Thus T-Mobile's GSM and PCS's CDMA technology differences should not be a problem, morphing into G4 LTE in 2010 and beyond. Of course this does not mean T-Mobile is going to buy PCS, but at least the different wireless technologies may not be a problem moving forward if T-Mobile, or someone else, does buy PCS. PCS has announced that it will be moving into Q4 LTE wireless technology in the latter part of 2010.
