While CDMA technology in the US is seeing a downturn, the world has been embracing CDMA. This is especially true for the Asia-Pacific region, which drove a growth of 17% over last year.
CDMA industry continued its strong growth through the first quarter of 2008, increasing its customer base by almost 17% over the past year to 451 million CDMA subscribers worldwide, with CDMA2000 and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO reaching 438 million and 97 million, respectively. The Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) regions claimed the highest year-over-year percentage subscriber growth for CDMA2000, while the Americas and EMEA experienced the highest percentage of subscriber growth for CDMA2000 1xEV-DO. - [Cellular News and cdg]
As of now, the only carrier in the US not to adopt a GSM based 4G network is Sprint. We will have to just wait and see where CDMA in the US goes.
My experience with CDMA was not bad. I don't know why in Asia Pacific the technology is getting unpopular. The reason might be in the increase of new technologies like GSM and 3G Networks.
