I'm afraid that I'm going to have to argue that point. Cingular (formerly AT&T and Cingular) has the largest network, and neither has been a population-centered or major highway-centered network in years. In fact, when the two were still separate entities, nationwide customers used to roam on each other's networks, anyhow, and there were agreements with T-Mobile to share networks for the GSM customers. Now that Cingular is moving to all GSM, and has upgraded just about all of its towers to handle it, they've actually cancelled a lot of their agreements to use T-Mobile's networks to carry their own traffic. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a message of: subscribe
