FEMA Picks AT&T and Verizon as Go-To Carriers
Why would they choose At&t?
The only reason I could really think of is that At&t's bid was cheaper than the other carriers. At&t has very crappy signal, and very unreliable verses Verizon or even Sprint. I think they'll realize their mistake once they get the phones.. "Can you hear me now?" "No, because we didn't choose a better service provider."

Not sure who the "moderator" is who removed the subsequent messages in this thread, but that was weak sauce. I'm having to retype my legit response all over again thanks to you....and since I don't feel like going into the depth that I did the first time, this will be a little shorter.
That said, AS1987....my guess (just considering your handle) is that I'm several years your elder, so don't get to full of yourself, kiddo. It was you who posted a blanket statement of mediocrity (At&t has very crappy signal, and very unreliable verses Verizon or even Sprint. I think they'll realize their mistake once they get the phones.. "Can you hear me now?" "No, because we didn't choose a better service provider.") for which you have no personal know...

And sorry Rich, got your message. Still think you could have just edited my post so as to maintain the thread, but it's cool.

Absolutely. Your an elder of me, but show so much more disrespect towards other individuals. Your original post was nothing short of pathetic, and that is why I it wasn't kept on the site. My screen name has nothing to do with my post, and I'm glad you want to point that out to discredit me which shows how much you actually label someone. You have no idea about who I actually am or my past. I'll let your assumptions speak for your claim of being "older, and wiser" which your really not.
Secondly, CDMA signal out performs GSM signal a majority of the time. It's been proven, and also At&t has more dropped calls than any other provider. Period. I'm done chatting with you. Anyone else can respond that has more respect.

Again, you're making quite an effort to be misleading. I simply called you for what you are, a flamer. Your post...the one that started this...was a childish flame. Period. Your retort to me is what led to me pointing out your age since you wished to imply that you could accurately assume my own. So don't turn things around now just because the message you posted was deleted.
And yet again, you have nothing to back up your statements. I have personal experience to rely on as well as my own corporate training that I received while at VZW where I got to learn about all the special properties of why CDMA networks are "better". Again....they're only better if they work for you. Same is true with GSM and iDEN. I have never encounter...

I will say that after selling phones for over 8 years and representing almost every major carrier at the same time (Membership warehouse setting) I have learned one thing, If you are in a big city area most carriers are fine but if you go to places like Montana or say Maine then you might want to pick a CDMA phone over GSM. Let's face it by the time that everyone is done arguing over what is better Verizon or AT&T we will have the final result which is Verizon will buy out Sprint and AT&T will buy out T-Mobile thus ending with the two company's that almost nobody wants to deal with but everyone will end up with either way both of the heads on the two soon to be giants are way to big and we will have to deal with it in the end because let's f...

Well I've had personal service from Honolulu Cellular (TDMA)->At&t(TDMA/GSM)->Cingular(GSM)-> and now At&t(GSM)for well over 20 years here in Hawaii and I have to say that we have a distinct advantage of having comparably good coverage for all carriers here. GSM call quality, in regards to my personal At&t and my wife's T-mobile, is very unreliable. It works great one moment and sounds horrible another moment. I've had many phones and I am qualified to say that it's the network. My business Sprint CDMA and Nextel iden have the most land line like call quality and I love them. I've heard that Verizon has great call quality also. If you're a heavy user like me, 5000+ minutes a month, call quality makes all the difference. In regards to the FEM...

I completely agree. I think that the CDMA networks have much better quality for coverage, and performance than GSM networks such as At&T. They most likely had other reasons for choosing At&t that have not been released.

Not for nothing, but, at the end of the day, it will probably be a bad choice no matter what the choice. If they had gone with AT&T they would have talked about how they shoulda gone with Vzw. If they had gone with Vzw they would have talked about why they shoulda gone with AT&T.
Our goverment (I am american) is on a streak of bad choices. This one wouldnt be any different then the recent others.

I dont see Tmo and Sprint being bought out by AT&T or Verizon (I see them both trying take the #1 & #2 spots from thier competition)
AT&T actually has really good signal (at least, everywhere I have been with a AT&T cellphone).
AT&T seems reliable to me...those around me and more importantly the president of the Wachovia ban...

AT&T is not Reliable, and i bet you ive been more place then you have.
If AT&T had a Reliable network, the ratings would show that.
Guess what! I DONT SEE ANY GOOD RATINGS!
I dont think a network that has problmes all the time is very reliable.

Ahh, screw it. I dont feel like toying with you. Lets just say that I worked for a company who rated hotels and I spent a lot of time travling from one to the next. Needless to say I went around a lot and....well...naw, not worth it. Anyway, point is, if you read my post correctly it says one key factor.........
