Cingular Launches In NYC
Based on the network sharing agreement it signed with Voicestream, Cingular has launched service in New York today. This let's Cingular add NYC to its list of major metros served, but is unlikely to add a significant number of new subscribers given the intense competition in that market. Given the network sharing agreement for NYC, CA and NV, Voicestream might make an intereting acquisition for Cingular. But it's probably too small and too expensive unless Deutsche Telekom gets really desperate.
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.
