Excellent idea. John should include this info in the Charter... ;-)


Seriously, I think your idea is excellent, provided there is no
"alt.cellular.att" group created anytime soon- technically the "service
formerly known as Cingular" won't be called AT&T Wireless- just AT&T.

As far as the T-Mo group goes, it's adoption would be even more complete
if Google would get off it's arse and add it to Google groups!

Hopefully Mr Navas will update the Charter to state this information.

Bush will save us. We just have to trust him and give him time to get the

They're just calling it "Wireless service from AT&T." I think attws is
close enough.

I've requested it, for all the good it's done.

The company may not be called "at&t wireless" but for the sake of thise
group it can denote the wireless portion of at&t to keep it from dirgressing
into discussion about the other portions of their business such as
landlines.

I say keep the attws to keep the discussion wireless related.
