Cingular Enters Bundling Deal with SBC
Cingular and SBC (one of Cingular's owners) are going to working together of bundled services to subscribers. Customers will be able to get a single bill for services such as wireless, fixed-line, satellite and DSL services in markets where the companies offer such services. Bundling is a smart way to build customer loyalty and upsell new service. But it's big integration project. Cingular is still integrating it's wireless components, hopefully these efforts won't interfere with each other. Otherwise you risk losing customers.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
