it looks like someone recently merged or was bought or renamed...or something. its really hard to follow, but it appears that a CDMA carrier was somehow acquired by a GSM and UMTS / HSDPA carrier.

CDMA carriers are probably going to move to GSM for 4G technology, because of cost/ease of future upgrades, and easier roaming.
