At one point Orange, a CDMA operator thought they had a future in UMB (Ultra Mobile Bandwidth), the LTE equivalent for GSM operators, but they don't. With Safaricom aggressively rolling out 4G, Orange have to step up their game before this aggressive prelude to Safaricom's way of "trading atoms, and doing a good job at it, hate it or love it " gets higher download quotas and eventually paves way to affordable 4G internet prices.

I think the biggest issue is cost.
Orange have to really think hard if they want to keep investing in a GSM network and a separate CDMA network. Guess GSM is cheaper due to more users. It also reduces needing to have two (or three of everything including landlines).

This however doesn't rule out the possibility that there are other alternative ways of telling apart devices (including #AfricanChemistry [?] )
