It's rather amusing to see the yearly scrambling of PR people, paid and
unpaid, for the carriers that do poorly. Last year Cingular was claiming
that the reason that they did so poorly was the conversion from
TDMA/AMPS to GSM, and the AT&T acquisition. Then they went on to say how
much money they are spending on improving their network. I'm sure that
Cingular will have a statement in the next week or so, Consumer Reports
is too highly respected for them to ignore the survey, especially with
that savage sidebar about Cingular's "Fewest Dropped Calls" claim. The
rationalizations should prove to be amusing. It's a bad week for the
Sprint and Cingular shills!
