Opinari - Latin term for Opinion. Opinari.net is just what it seems: a cornucopia of rants, raves and poignant soliloquy. |

AT&T Wireless is bought out by Cingular. They plan to keep the Cingular name, so I guess after the 4th quarter, I will be using a Cingular phone.
Because Cingular and AT&T Wireless use the same GSM wireless technology, the companies said they expect network integration will bring customers almost immediate improvement in coverage and call quality.
Good. Maybe I can get some &*%$ coverage in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia... and maybe those unreachable parts of New York state that seem to avoid AT&T calls... or perhaps those stretches of northern Ohio where my AT&T phone shows zero bars on the antenna.
Or, maybe I can get a customer service representative that's worth a damn. Are you listening, Cingular?
The thing that really sucks is that there's only one GSM provider in the U.S. now. Hopefully, it will mean less holes in coverage, but somehow, I think it will mean "We own the GSM, so you have to pay us more for it now that we're a monopoly."Labels: Archives_2004
