This really only affects people in New England and some other areas.

For people that this affects what are your thoughts on this, I for one am excited as it will open me up to a range of new plans, however I do not want to have to go back to using CDMA, (Unicel switched from CDMA to GSM years ago.) And with Verizon you dont use SIM cards which I am pissed about, plus most International carriers use GSM, so if you are overseas you wont be able to roam easily.

What are you thoughts?

I live in New-england but luckily I'm not affected at all, so I will go about my day.
