Cingular 3G In Most Of 100 Largest Cities
Why is Cingular so obtuse about their 3G coverage
It seems to me that if Cingular has made such good progress, why can't they have a single nationwide map showing 3G coverage.

Let me explain that a bit:
I'm totally confused by this as well. I work for Cingular, and there is loads of information available, but none of it easy to navigate. The basic reason for this relates to how big the company is and how the management works.
Cingular is still dealing with the merger between the initial 2 companies. . . no, I mean BellSouth Wireless & SBC wireless. There are still 2 totally different billing systems (though there is thankfully, just one provisioning system). Then there's the AT&T wireless merger, which has left the company a mess in many ways. While this doesn't have a lot do to with network development/announcements, it is indicitive of how fractured the company is. Cingular is just too damn big to f...
