Tom This is from an article on post 3706 on the WCOM Thread:

Atlantic, with which AirTouch already shares joint ownership of PrimeCo, a
PCS (personal communications service) company, wants to create a national U.S.
wireless footprint. If combined with the Baby Bell's East coast-based mobile
operations, the AirTouch subscriber base could be expanded from coast to coast.

Britain's Vodafone Group is aggressively expanding on the European continent, and
has invested alongside AirTouch in several overseas ventures. Joining the two
companies' operations would create a network that spans Europe, and would give
Vodafone a valuable presence in the U.S. and Asian markets.

MCI WorldCom has created a valuable international end-to-end phone network,
but lacks a wireless strategy. Chairman Bernard Ebbers has said in the past that he
prefers to concentrate on land phone lines, but many analysts have said the company
should have a wireless component if it is to compete with the world's other
full-service telecommunications giants.
