I have a recommendation for the AT&T page, Rich.

Dear Mr. Brome,

I would like to recommend the following edit to the text on the AT&T page:

"AT&T Mobility was known as Cingular until 2007. Cingular was formed by the merger of BellSouth Wireless and SBC Wireless in 2001. Cingular then acquired AT&T Wireless in 2004. Cingular's parent companies, the new AT&T (formerly SBC) and BellSouth then merged and Cingular was rebranded as AT&T Mobility. The company's current wireless network uses GSM/GPRS technology. The company uses both the cellular (850 MHz) and PCS (1900 MHz) bands. They also offer EDGE high-speed data over most of their network, and WCDMA (UMTS) + HSDPA 3G technology over a large and growing area that includes most major cities."

The minor changes reflect a more accurate ...

Thanks.

I have to agree, the current info is a little vague. This does clear it up.

Thanks. By the way, on the AT&T link, showing you the logos, at the top their page it says "New AT&T Image Gallery." If I am supposed to type the name out as at&t when why didn't they write their own name in all lowercase?

In fact, everywhere you look on AT&T's website everytime AT&T appears in regular text form, it is all caps. Only in the logo do they use all lower case lettering.

When typing the name in plain text it is upper case, when using the logo, it is lower case.

From AT&T:

The new logo reinvigorates the AT&T globe — one of the most recognized corporate symbols in the world. The new globe is three-dimensional, representing the expanding breadth and depth of services that the new AT&T family of companies provides to customers, as well as its global presence.

Transparency was added to the globe to represent clarity and vision. Lowercase type is now used for the "AT&T" characters because it projects a more welcoming and accessible image. (NOTE: When you see the logo, it is lowercase, this does not apply to typing the company name in plain text.) The core of the new logo remains blue because both ...
