AT&T Wireless Tracking Stock

from the track-this dept

AT&T has officially announced it is spinning off its wireless business into the AT&T Wireless Group. The new business will include both voice and data divisions and be will trading in the form of a tracking stock. I suspect that this stock could do well given SprintPCS' success and the rate at which AT&T's wireless business is growing.

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.

    If they could only get their act together

    Here in the Bay area AT&T service is even worse than Sprint PCS. Lines are constantly busy or it just rings to an error message recording. AT&T has a long way to go, with a very old, out-dated network. Sprint has it's problems, but they have, by far, the most advanced network out there.

      Where is this info from? Everytime I've used an AT&T phone in the Bay Area I've been surprised at how much better it seems to work than my Sprint PCS service. Of course, it's only been a few times... especially considering that AT&T doesn't offer service around here.

        My entire company uses AT&T phones that are registered in the New York area. We never can get through to them.
