Does anyone think ATTWS will merge with Cingular? Or do you think T-Mobile would merge with ATTWS? I myself think the latter of the two.
I haven't heard or seen anything in print lately, has anyone else?

More or likely AT&T and Cingular will Merge. It will give them a combined customer base of around 50 million. They will do this just to become the #1 carrier in customer count.

this isn't info I should give out but we got info in our 'news' system explaining what we should say if a customer calls in and inquires about certain issues, one of them was consoldiation. Our 'official' response is that it isn't what we're focused on at this time and we are constantly looking at ways to improve our business profitability.
