Justice Department Gives Green Light To Cingular Merger
Oct 25, 2004, 3:07 PM by (staff)
Cingular today announced that it has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that will allow the company's proposed acquisition of AT&T Wireless to proceed on schedule. While the annoucement covers any antitrust concerns, the deal must also win approval from the FCC. The FCC has reportedly agreed on approval internally, and is expected to make an announcement by tomorrow. Cingular officials continue to expect the transaction to close later this quarter.

merger
Im glad that this step has been taken, however this step does not mean that the merger has gone through yet. So lets not get too excited about this just yet. Aws and Cingular are still very much competitors until all t's are crossed and all the i's are dotted. I do imagine that with this last step, barring any set backs the merger should go through.
Also check out this site as well this will explain alot!

with the merger of these two companies and networks alot of the coverage "holes" will be filled .there should be alot less "deadspots",and now your mobile -2-mobile incudes att customers!!

I'd like ot say
😳 Well keep in mind that both ATTWS and cingular already share towers so this means until new tower or signal is allowed to be boosted, the same dead spots will be there. I also wonder what areas will have to de-vested to allow merger, i know for AWS one area in planed to me PR.. 😎
