Cingular forges 2.5G joint venture with AT&T Wireless.

Cingular Wireless yesterday announced a new joint venture with AT&T 
Wireless to establish a 2.5G GSM/GPRS network along U.S. interstate 
highways in the first quarter of 2003. Financial terms of the deal were not 
disclosed, but both companies said they would contribute equal cash and 
spectrum space for the new network. The companies plan to operate the new 
network as joint venture, but each will market service under their 
respective brands. The two carriers say their network will be the first to 
offer 2.5G GSM/GPRS service along interstates running through Arizona, 
Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah.
