The number of users (subscribers) is largely irrelevant -- what matters is
the number (one) and type of (compatible) back office systems. This
integration actually looks to be easier than prior integrations.

Which part of that don't you understand? Shall we start with "This"?

No surprise there (to anyone but you).

ATTWS customers actually got the benefit of the Cingular network prior to
closing of the merger thanks to free roaming, which continues, and in November
got the benefit of expanded mobile-to-mobile, both without switching.

But not at some AT&T WIreless stores.

Yes I have proofo. It's the November 16 press release of Cingular that
Navas claimed didn't exist.

Title of Press Release:


Cingular Completes Massive Overnight Conversion of AT&T Wireless Stores

Only problem: IT NEVER HAPPENED.

As near as I can remember the 15th of November date was for Mobile to Mobile
across platforms and that DID happen.

Fully integrated can mean a number of things depending on your point of view.
It could be technology, marketing or even billing. Don't cut them short unless
you are more specific in what you are talking about when it comes to
integration.

I can tell you that they ARE in the process of integrating cell site equipment
and that is going to be a long arduous task. Probably 2 years or more.....

Only problem: It doesn't actually support your claims.
