Done Deal. SBC to buy AT&T

<http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/050130/sbc_at_t_9.html>

side effects:

No need for AT&T to start a new wireless operation (AT&T Mobile) when
they are part of SBC which is the majority owner of Cingular. So no need
to use SprintPCS network. Bad for SprintPCS, good for Cingular

No need to worry about stopping to use AT&T Wireless name on April 23,
or removing AT&T Wireless name from all the stores where it still is.
SBC which owns the majority of Cingular will also own AT&T, and tell
AT&T to not complain.

Hey Phillipe, I thought you weren't going to post here (a.c.spcs) anymore. Said
you were leaving because you were fed up with Sprint and with us.

Guess you lied? (not a big surprise)

Not really. Maybe good for CIngular, but a lot has happened since the
AT&T/Sprint deal was announced, such as the Nextel merger.

Keep dreaming that AT&T would use SprintPCS
if they're being bought by SBC. Sprint was counting those AT&T bucks,
that now they wont get.

Childish insults? LMAO Phillipe. Every time you post under a different ID,
you show what a child you are. As for insults, it was you who said you would
never post here, yet you did. That wasn't an insult, it was the truth.

As for the stock market today, it seems that the investors like what's going
on, as SPCS is current up $.59 a share as of 12:55 PM ECT. ATT investors are
too happy right now, as their share price is down $0.64 right now.

As for the lack of any income SPCS might have received from ATT, that was
all funny money until they started reselling service.

Hello, He Who Swore He'd Never Post To Alt.Sprintpcs Again:

The point was that with the Nextel deal, the loss of AT&T isn't going to have
the impact that it originally might have. Why'd you lie about posting to the
SPCS newsgroup?

Side note......
(Besides the fact that my internet connection will probably be screwed.)

I hope SBC keeps the AT&T name.
(ie)The final combined company will carry the ATT name.

It was all ATT before the breakup, it would be sad for SBC to officially
bring such a long lived brand to an end, instead of accepting the name
as their own, because at one time, it was the name they went by.

(all right, my sentimental streak is showing)

In other words, you were wrong. Imagine that.

I didn't say they would be. What I *AM* saying is that the MVNO isn't
needed for Sprint's success.

I didnt say it was, I just said Sprint is apparently going to lose the
big chunk of revenue it was expecting from AT&T Mobile's MVNO.
