"Cingular" was a sappy name from the beginning. But amongst those of a certain
age, the name "AT&T" conjures up dark memories of the hated "Ma Bell". It's as
though George W. Bush tried to refurbish his reputation by calling himself
"Richard Milhous Cheney".

Anyway, the natural progression from "Cingular", now that they've swallowed
another company, would be "Doubular".
