Technically, the alt.cellular.attws group was for AT&T Wireless, while
the old Cingular will be marketed as "wireless service from AT&T
(according to AT&T).

So maybe there should be a group alt.cellular.wsatt, but in reality
alt.cellular.attws is a better name. I don't think that anyone could get
a vote through to create alt.cellular.att or alt.cellular.wsatt.

Look at how upset the chief Cingular shill was about the creation of
alt.cellular.t-mobile, which was a logical creation given the old group
of alt.cellular.gsm.carriers.voicestream. Of course the reason he fought
it was because he didn't want the alt.cellular.cingular group to suffer
the same fate as the alt.cellular.gsm.carriers.voicestream group.
