While I'm sure Rogers makes much more coin off roaming than Bell, there's still SOME roaming going on. Sprint roams on Bell... don't know if Verizon roams on Bell or Telus (it used to be Bell)
CDMA-to-GSM isn't unthinkable... it's been done in Australia and most of South America. And the sky didn't fall when North American TDMA nets switched to GSM (even though some folks still cling on to their TDMA sets today...)
Whether it's worth the investment here, wow... I have no idea. If they do end up doing it, let's have it be 3G -- a CDMA-to-WCDMA switch.

Well, Roger used to be CDMA in the past and switched to gsm just before acquiring fido.
