Vodafone & BAM excerpt> A partnership between Bell Atlantic and AirTouch has long topped analysts' most-likely-to-succeed lists, however. The two companies' networks are complementary, using similar technology with little overlap in service. Vodafone's victory over Bell Atlantic in the bidding war for AirTouch last year sparked some acrimony between the two companies. Bell Atlantic sued Vodafone shortly after its merger was completed, and quickly moved to break up a small wireless joint venture between the two companies. That didn't dissuade Vodafone and AirTouch executives from seeking to close the wireless open wound. In interviews shortly after the merger closed, the chief executives of both firms repeatedly said one of their top priorities would be to strike some new agreement with Bell Atlantic. "We've been talking with them on and off for some time," said Jonathan Marshall, a Vodafone AirTouch spokesman. "This is not something we're trumpeting as near resolution."
