Wireless technology has become the standard means of communications today.
In a nutshell, wireless means no cables-no cords. ATT Wireless was the third
largest wireless telephone company in the United
States. I use the word was, because in
October of 2004, ATT Wireless was bought out by Cingular.
ATT Wireless and Cingular- The Merger
The merger between ATT Wireless and Cingular has resulted in the largest
wireless phone service in the United States.
Many people worried that ultimately, the merger would result in poor service
and loss of calling plans and deals. Cingular has been very accommodating to
former ATT Wireless customers and if you type the internet address for ATT
Wireless, you will be automatically redirected to the Cingular Wireless
website.
How much was it worth?
Amazingly, Cingular paid more than twice the amount for the purchase of ATT
Wireless. The total venture cost Cingular over 40 million dollars. I guess that
is the price you pay to be America’s
number one wireless service provider.
