Seems like BLS has a mish-mash of networks....This is a list of the top 25 wireless networks in the US. There is a short description of each. wirelessreview.com Subscribers: 5.01 million Revenue: $701 million Service in: AL, CA, FL, GA, IN, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, TX, VA Technology: GSM 1.9GHz, TDMA 800MHz and 1.9GHz Ticker Symbol: BLS (NYSE) Web Site: www.bellsouthmobility.com or www.bellsouthdcs.com Subscribers Lost: 290,000 (due to property sales) 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. Slacker
