AT&T plans to kill Cingular brand. So, let me get this straight, AT&T broke up into the baby bells and thus Bellsouth was formed, Bellsouth Mobility formed as the cellular/paging arm of Bellsouth, Bellsouth Mobility got renamed to Cingular when Bellsouth Mobility merged with Southwestern Bell (SBC) Wireless, AT&T wireless was taken over and merged into the Cingular brand owned by SBC and Bellsouth, SBC takes over AT&T in a weird child buys out the parent deal to become the new AT&T, meanwhile Bellsouth and the new AT&T are possibly combining to become AT&T all over again thus Cingular is becoming AT&T again… Its no wonder the US telecom industry is confusing.

Dude, you have no idea. You would think that after all the rediculous “transparent network” commercials they would instead invest the money into upgrading my dsl from piss poor to actually a reliable standard. But no, they instead decide to waste the cash on a half-billion in advertising saying what a wonderful network they have, when truely, it’s complete ass in a can.
