Whan does merger happen

Since when does someone need authoritative anything for an OPINION????
Nope, I searched for Internet rules and FAQs....no mention of anything
required for posting an OPINION.....and his post made no reference to
such facts or speculation by any source other than himself......
Please produce one authoritative URL ... anywhere....
that suggests requirements for OPINIONS.

The original OP can have any opinion he might want. But when he says -

Prior to -

>IMHO!

Then he needs to be corrected. His opinion is based on a lack of knowledge
about the name being changed.

His opinion is therefore false and should be corrected before he manages to
convince anyone else that it might be more than just an opinion!

Hmmmm. I guess that depends on which part of the world you're from.

In many parts of the world, that *exactly* describes a marriage.

Just so you know, the SBC name was not part of Ameritech Wireless when
Cingular was formed (actually their second choice for a name-another one was
named quickly at the merger announcement, but it was awful and wasn't
used-we laughed about it at the Eastpointe, MI Cingular store at that time
when I stopped in).

If they do they do. Lots of companies change names multiple times and
things go on. It's sure not worth fussing about!

You did!

The meeting where we try to make things correct in this medium.

But here in the USA where Cingular and AT&T WS are, we don't have arranged
marriages (for the most part) nor do we own women (or other people for that
matter).

So the buying of one business by another business isn't likened to a marriage
in any way.

They didn't and won't.

But of couse it isn't worth going on and on about, just worth making sure that
others that might not be so well informed know that Cingular (since it's
formation) has always been Cingular. There has never been a name change!

The world is a LOT bigger than just the USA.

The combining of two businesses is indeed likened to a marriage in many,
many respects.

The ATT name reverts to ATT (the LD company). They have already
announced that as soon as the Cingular/ATT Wireless deal is done,
they, ATT, will resell wireless Sprint service under the ATT label.

Wonderful, then you can get the worst of both worlds. The spider web
like coverage of SprintPCS digital, and the arrogance of AT&T Customer
Support.

Damn you are dense!

The conversation revolves around the buying of AT&T Wireless by Cingular. It
isn't bigger than the USA!

No, you're dense. I started out with a tongue-in-cheek comment that you
took seriously.

That you continue to take seriously.

You need to take a deep breath and unclench. Lighten up just a bit.
You'd be amazed at what's REALLY happening out there in the world.
