That seems very odd that cingular would dispense with all the PCS spectrum that they inherited when they acquired AT&T Wireless. If what you say is also true it means that they don't want to get roaming revenue from anyone visiting from other GSM countries since most foreigners if they have "world" phones don't have phones that are capable of 850 and only have handsets that have 1900. cingular never had PCS in the majority of their holdings except for their holdings on the west coast and in the Carolinas. It's the reason why cingular overlaid GSM later than did AT&T Wireless who had PCS in every market that they served so they were able to deploy GSM using 1900 only handsets which is what AT&T Wireless did prior to them getting 850 GSM radios and handsets. ------------------------ Yahoo!
