Analyst Perspective
BellSouth has a relatively strong brand name nationwide
and an extremely strong brand name in its region. The
largest problem that it faces is three of its markets use
GSM, making roaming impossible for TDMA customers.
Although it is a regional player, it will have to compete
with national players in most of its markets.
BellSouth has an opportunity to provide bundled services
and use its strong brand name to attract high-end users in
its region.
