Does this mean VZW is changing to a GSM based network. Or will use CDMA but with SIM technology.

They are going to GSM-LTE I am sure the phones will support both gsm-cdma until it is phased out like analog

No, it will be CDMA/LTE. I don't see what would be the point for Verizon to overlay their network with GSM, considering they have already invested billions in their CDMA network.

So, in other words:
Verizon = CDMA/LTE
AT&T = GSM/UMTS/LTE

End of story.

Neither. LTE is neither GSM nor CDMA. It is a new technology in both airlink & core network.
