George Gilder has it right:

ATT spinoff of its wireless (IPO) is:

(I)redeemably (P)athetic (O)ffering

of which we all stand in AWE!!

Gilder continues: The data dilemma dooms American TDMA networks. The Bell Atlantic/Vodaphone partnership (inexplicably renamed Verizon) abruptly thrusts AT&T into a distant second place in the wireless market share. T's only remaining advantages are cash, bulk, and an increasingly compromised brand. In thrall to a bankrupt technology, all three will waste away.
