Cingular/Voicestream Combination Makes More Sense

Now that everyone has had time to reflect on potential <a href=https://www.techdirt.com/news/wireless/article/258″> AT&T/Voicestream combination, analysts don’t think a deal makes sense. The key to a good match is spectrum. AT&T has plently of spectrum while Cingular does not. Voicestream has more spectrum than it’s using which would directly benefit Cingular.Update:Could this be why AT&T is talking to Voicestream now? I doubt it, but it makes for interesting speculation.
