CDMA is a legacy technology and everybody is moving to LTE. So, getting more CDMA phones on the system would only be a burden in the future. Verizon in the US is dropping CDMA next year and I bet Orange Kenya will be off the technology by the end of 2015:

I have been wondering for a while why Orange Kenya does not sell CDMA iPhones yet they have the only active CDMA network in the region and as far as I can tell it is on the same tech as the American one (CDMA 2000)
This would ensure lock in of subscribers and allow subsidizing of handsets. The subscribers would be happy on an non-congested network, assured revenues for the network since there is no unlocking or sim swap business and utilization of the network that only seems to be used by modem dongles.
Win win?
