Re: Scrapping Cingular name good idea

I think both names are widely known for their horrible service. If I were to give either the benefit of the doubt though, i'd give it to AT&T - the name which has the widest name recognition.

Re: Scrapping Cingular name good idea

You guys are shining examples of what SBC is thinking.

AT&T is *JUST A NAME* sitting on top of SBC, the company.

I can call myself AT&T but does that make me the AT&T we all know?

If they keep the BUSINESS PRACTICES of AT&T, then that's another story.

But, if they think that the AT&T name will bring more business, I think they are wrong. People fled AT&T for copetition and the numbers show. They may gain recognition for the business world, but that's about it.

They should probably take the same path as Sprint & Nextel did with the Nextel name as a product line of Sprint. SBC, if they were smart, would stay SBC as the "company" and keep AT&T as a product name for business and enterprise services.
