VoiceStream Proposes Cingular Merger
Because there haven't already been enough rumors about just when VoiceStream might merge with AT&T Wireless, Cingular (or both), now the Wall Street Journal has a report that VoiceStream has approached Cingular about a merger, that would (as it should) end up with Cingular really buying VoiceStream. This is basically the same story that was rumored about AT&T Wireless and VoiceStream a few weeks back, so I wouldn't put too much weight in it until things move further along. However, it's clear that VoiceStream is pretty desperately looking to be bought out somehow.
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.
