GSM and CDMA is not going to be an issue for long. 4G technologies are being rolled out. Sprint and Nextel are pretty much the only ones supporting WIMAX, with pretty much every other major carrier in the world going to LTE, including Verizon.
In the next few years, as the world rolls out LTE, Verizon phones will be able to roam on Europe / Asia networks without the need for two types of cellular radios.
Right now would be a PRIME time to buy a CDMA carrier. As networks are rolled over to 4G standards... why wouldn't now be a better time to halt Wimax and wait for the roll over to LTE ? Something would have to happen soon as Sprint is in the middle of Wimax roll out.
