From the "who's driving the bus" category, Cingular converting to GSM makes even less sense than AT&T's Armstrong blunder. Well, I guess you can forgive Big Mike once, but three times? Project Angel=dead, cable deals= dying/dead, Converting from TDMA to GSM? Priceless. This visionary should sue the doctor who did the eye surgery. In an era of declining voice pricing and lethargic mobile data use why would anybody convert to dated euro technology? Not only do these guys seem easy to fool, but they are getting fooled on the 1999 story! Oh, and here's today's shocking news: "Cingular, the nation's second-largest wireless provider, with 22 million customers, said in October that it planned to spend $3 billion on new equipment to upgrade its network. But details of the deals revealed Monday by Cingular's three major suppliers--Nokia, Siemens and Ericsson--put the value of the upgrade well in excess of $3.5 billion." Yea. $5B installed, which should be by late 2003. Well, if sending more US money to Europe for the holidays was the master plan - they are executing well.
