Anyone have any clue as to USCC's PTT path? Cutting the network over to CDMA... Who will they align themselves with? Verizon or Alltel?

From what I hear it'll be a ways down the road before we get PTT, possibly 6 to 12 months from what I was told. Not sure what you mean by them aligning themselves with someone.

It was my understanding that interoperability could occur if the different carriers were using the same technology... So if the 2 companies used VOIP (like Verizon & Sprint) eventually they could cross PTT from one carrier to the other.. The product Kodiak Networks developed was specifically designed for interoperability... Alltel (one of Verizon roaming partners) is a CDMA carrier but went to Kodiak instead of the VOIP tech Verizon deployed... Probably didn't make Verizon happy but oh well, it is a superior PTT over cellular. So if USCC goes with Kodiak they could eventually PTT between Alltel's network or other Kodiak RTX equipped carriers (GSM or CDMA).

I've heard we're shooting for 4th quarter... which probably means more like 1st quarter of next year 🙄
