Indeed.

I suppose that it is possible for one to have multiple 3G devices
attached and connected at once, especially as more routers support USB. 
The point I was trying to make is that a RSSI of -90 might be great for
one cellular provider / technology, while -90 might be awful for
another.  Just because we can read the RSSI values does not mean that we
can do much with it, other than present it.

For what it is worth, I made an attempt at unifying the RSSI differences
between UMTS and CDMA modems, and presenting the result such that it is
similar to the expected output from AT+CSQ.  I get the feeling that the
CDMA modem I used to test with cheated a little bit on AT+CSQ.
