Well, this is interesting news for all of those Sprint iPhone users in Vietnam and Honduras.

Well, they may also be a supplier of chipsets for AT&T and T-Mobile iPhones. Do they have CDMA on their LTE chipsets?

This would fit the bill for most carriers, though, since it supports EDGE, DC-HSPA+, TD-SCDMA (China), TDD-LTE, and FDD-LTE. 

 

But it's cool to see its specs - now we know what's coming up in smartphones later this year. LTE Cat. 10 with ability to aggregate 3 carriers up to 60MHz downlink (450Mbps max). 29 LTE bands. LTE Broadcast.

 

I bet AT&T would love to see more three carrier CA devices out there, considering they're up to 6 LTE bands.

And why not?

And why not?

Qualcomm Licensing fees, qualcomm's mastery of CDMA? Idk

Plus CDMA's days are numbered while att is still deploying new metro cells with umts.

Not UMTS or WCDMA. They support those technologies. It will not support CDMA-2000 or its derivatives. So Verizon and Sprint are out but there is nothing prohibiting using Intel for AT&T and T-Mobile.
