This Is Great!<gg> John Stanton, Voicestream Wireless Company CEO (VSTR, WCOM, FON) From: Wick Date: 06 Oct 1999 Time: 06:59:37 Remote Name: 209.224.198.10 Comments John Stanton, Voicestream Wireless Company CEO (VSTR, WCOM, FON) VSTR got a boost on the WCOM & FON merger deal. Three wireless standards. VSTR spun off Western Wireless in 1999. Licenses in 22 of 25 largest US markets. 49.9% partnership with Cook Inlet Regional. Coverage includes every state but CA & NV. Largest shareholder – Hutchinson Whampoa Ltd of Hong Kong. GSM – Global systems for mobile communications. GSM is the world's most popular digital standard. They are only one in US using this. Others use 2 North American standards. Introduced with PCS technology introduced in US several years ago. M&A Aerial Communications $3.3B & Omnipoint Corp. $5.5B. Top Competitors: BEL, USW & VOD. See GSN huge advantage as internet and wireless communications converge. Only recently have licenses been released in US. Behind Europe because of later licensing. FON & WCOM not really affecting them since they expect WCOM to concentrate on wireless for business. netcognizance.com
