T-Mobile Slates US 3G Launch For 2007

T-Mobile USA, although the number four national player, is still a huge company. They're owned by DTK, which is a billion dollar company, and bring in a lot of profit for DTK. T-Mobile will stick around, and will continually be the low-cost provider with national service. Everyday they work on improving their coverage, and 3G will help to make it better. Besides, no average American will be able to tell the difference anyways. Please, just leave T-Mo alone and go enjoy your expensive rate plans and poor customer service w/ Cingular.

What some of the Cingy people fail to realize is that DT could write a check for SBC and has the assets to cover it. As a competitor to T-Mobile I would never count them out, they are doing many things well. Their coverage is a little thin and fragile in many outlying areas but so are many others. They will get the necessary spectrum and continue on their way.
The title of this thread should be about T-Mobile buying Cingy and not the other way around.

Are you being serious? SBC is worth some $90+ billion, face value. I'd love to see the day that DT could/would write a check for SBC (and Bellsouth's stake in Cingular) and survive as long as a few more months. No company has enough money to toss around just to buy another company as large as SBC.

Now considering their only interest would be in Cingular, they might be able to afford to write THAT check. What you must realize is that DT has a total of 70 million customers worldwide. Cingular has a whopping 50 million in one country. Comparitively I'm sure Cingular's value is almost exactly that of DT. And with the looks of how T-Mobile's revenue and profit must be struggling (due to their affordability) I highly doubt that DT could ...

Yeah, I understand it was hypothetical, but it was also stupid.

Of course DT could write a check out for SBC, but they'd be bankrupt the next day. So what was the point of saying it?

He didn't say it was financially sound, he just said it was possible. Don't get so touchy about Cingular. They're doing great, and they have no need of Tmobile.

Okay...why are you telling me this? Did I not just say that myself in my other post? Hmmm... 🙄

I was instructing you to cool your jets, Hoss. Relax a little bit. No one's bashing your precious Cingular.

Ha, you're one to tell me to cool my jets. 🤣

1. I know nobody was bashing Cingular.
2. Cingular is far from precious, to me at least.

you guys need to start rooting for a sports team or something insteadof huge companies that consider us all to be ants for the stepping

The Steelers are in the off-season and the Pirates are getting better. Unfortunately I'm a die-hard Pittsburgh fan, so there'll be no rooting for anyone else.

I wouldn't say that I root for any company other than those I have stock in. I simply stated that somebody's post was a bit ridiculous and he jumped on my case about cooling my jets. It's not a big deal, I just like to see what he always has to say...

Ruff...if you're going to give us highlights, at least go back and watch the reel. I asked you to calm down 'cause you got rather animated about something that shouldn't have upset you in the first place. No worries, though. I follow what you post as well. Good posting. ;)

Who, exactly, are you responding to? See how I said "Cingular has no interest in Tmobile" in my previous post? That's because Cingular doesn't have any interest i...
