Who said they are converting to GSM?? I assume both they and Verizon will keep their CDMA tech for voice and just run LTE on top as the data half if that is possible. This would allow a good transition for all their customers with CDMA phones. I assume they'll be able to make dual mode CDMA/LTE phones.
If you are referring to: "if we wait around long enough, we'll be able to call Telus a GSM carrier..."
They just mean Telus will be a "GSM carrier" in that they will be using technology which lies in the same upgrade "track" as GSM. You know, like how historically everyone was always grouped into either the CDMA camp or the GSM camp.
