While CDMA is superior to TDMA for voice applications,
most data services will ultimately need to have
a TDMA component for dynamic BW allocation
(like the statistical multiplexing scheme employed by
DOCSIS or the dynamic time division scheme employed
by some BBFW equipment manufacturers like Ensemble
Communications). In terms of BW efficiency, OFDM is
also superior to CDMA for broadband applications.

Any wireless company will need to be able to do a lot
more than CDMA in the future.
