Voicestream Wireless uses GSM and Cingular Wireless uses both TDMA and GSM, depending on where you're located in their network. As long as a single standard eludes the U.S. industry, the extent of each user's coverage is only as wide as his or her carrier's network. The expectation is there that cell phones should be just like land lines. The reality is that we're not quite there yet. That hasn't stopped people from buying cell phones.
People are willing to live with what's out there.
