Cingular Wins bid for AT&T Wireless

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the game-of-consolidation dept.

Newer Guy writes "Cingular has won the bidding war for AT&T Wireless with an offer of $15 a share, or about $40.5 billion." This means Vodafone is out, and the number of competitors for wireless devices in the US is down by one.

    In case you haven't noticed, Cingular isn't the only wireless phone service provider out there.

    There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.

    All phone companies are evil. Some are more evil than others. Cingular is worse than even SprintPCS. I liked AT&T Wireless... until now. I'm leaving them for another carrier, probably US Cellular or t-Mobile. And I'm taking my number with me. And if they ask me why I'll tell them Cingular sucks ass.
