Sprint PCS, AT&T Wireless Join Forces On Towers
As it becomes more and more difficult to get cellular coverage in certain regions (leading to the trend of stealth towers), many wireless carriers have realized that they absolutely need to work together on these things. Sprint PCS and AT&T Wireless have now announced plans to cooperate on their cell towers. The two companies will share information about current towers, and work together on constructing new towers that both can use. This follows on a similar (though, not quite so tightly bound) plan from Cingular and T-Mobile. Analysts now say that they expect all the wireless carriers to get in on the sharing game.
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.
