Re: best in the nati

Cincinnati Bell uses their own GSM network. It covers the Cincinnati and Dayton market areas. They operate in the Cincinnati PCS MTA (originally owned by AT&T). They also own spectrum in the F block.

They launched service in 1998. They have followed the same migration path as Cingular.

They are a scrappy local wireless carrier. They give the national guys fits because they are one of the few carriers left in teh country that does not require contracts to sign up for service.

This new service option is pretty cool. If I know how Bell operates, they launched this knowing that T-Mobile was geting close to launching it. So once they are confident in teh technology, they will probably open it up to other routers and hot spots.

They allow free calls from any wireless access point (whether on the Cincinnati Bell Network or Not) As of 6/15 you must currently be a ZoomTown (Cincinnati Bell's DSL) subscriber in order to add the UMA service to your cell phone. The $10 a month also includes free calls (using the cell or wifi network) to any Cincinnati Bell phone (both landline and cell)
