If you have a 850/1900mhz phone, and are on ATTWS or Cingular, this is great news for you. The amount of towers will increase, so less spots without coverage. There will be tons of area's where phones can choose from ATTWS's 1900mhz towers, and once they lose that signal go to Cingulars 850mhz towers. This sucks for Sprint, becuase not they are much smaller than Verizon or Cingular. Sucks for all the people that will loose their jobs. Sucks for less competition. I wish Vodafone took over ATTWS, but oh well.
