Apple Expanding to CDMA?

March 30, 2010 11:40:29.819

So is this CDMA for iPhone story another rumor, or is Apple actually planning on expanding out to Verizon? It makes sense within the North American market (less sense anywhere else). From the WSJ:

The new iPhone would work on a type of wireless network called CDMA, these people said. CDMA is used by Verizon Wireless, AT&T's main competitor, as well as Sprint Nextel Corp. and a handful of cellular operators in countries including South Korea and Japan. The vast majority of carriers world-wide, including AT&T, use another technology called GSM.

Doesn't interest me, though. One thing I really like about my iPhone is that it's not a brick when I travel overseas. Any CDMA phone - iPhone or otherwise - is.
