Re : Tritel will deploy the 1900 MHz digital systems throughout Mississippi and Alabama ... If you ever look at a Sprint PCS brochure (or webpage, probably) that shows which areas of the U.S. have Sprint PCS coverage and/or roaming agreements, the biggest "hole" in the entire country is (right now) Mississippi and Alabama. Jon.

DaveMG: ATT's network is based on IS-136 TDMA. Tritel is an AT&T partner. As long as AT&T remains committed to IS-136 AND it keeps offering its one rate plan, somebody's gonna have to keep planting lots of IS-136 equipment. It's really that simple. Best regards, Gregg
