Can you list the profitable cellular phone companies? On an operating cash flow basis - last time I looked - Airtouch, Bell Atlantic Mobile, BellSouth, SBC to name a few (g). Most if not all of independents - off the top of my head I don't know whose left. Mature cellular systems EBITDA margins run in the 40-50% range. Companies that are concurrently doing PCS buildouts in new markets certainly have had their OCF negatively affected. Nevertheless, analog cellular is a cash cow.
