Verizon Wireless announces end of CDPD wireless network
Verizon Wireless has quietly announced the end of its CDPD wireless data network.

Verizon customers will be migrated to the company's CDMA 1XRTT voice and data network. Other carriers, including AT&T Wireless Corp., have also announced plans to shutter their CDPD networks and transition customers to other more efficient networks. Report on Wireless previously reported that Telus Mobility was planning on shutting its CDPD network down within the next few years (RoW, Dec. 9/02).
