To SKIP PAUL: You may well be right that GTE is left out of Bell Atlantic - Airtouch merger. But think that is looking at wireless synergy only. Bell Atlantic wants to merge with GTE for many reasons with a major one of them being landline and especially GTE's fiber assets. Fun to speculate. Regulatory hurdles will be great in any case, but the FCC may look more kindly on a major nationwide competitor to some parts of AT&T's business. Who knows? Chaz

Skip,

I think GTE deal is not happening.

But isn't GTE a long distance provider as well? Bel Atlantic wants to get into long distance business desperately. One way or another.

And I think they will try to keep as many of the wireless licenses as possible.

I just noticed yesterday that Omnipoint has block A and D in the same market (New York). There must be some exceptions.

Joe
