| Now we know what Mlife was about.
If you look at the history of AT&T/Cellular One, you can see why the whole mLife campaing was somewhat necessary. I mean, they used the "white lie" that digital cellular technology was better to lure the public into buying into the now-obsolete IS-136/TDMA technology.
So, now they can't sell their new network based on the digital buzz word, and nobody in the US really knows what GSM is; hence the need for mLife. Even though GSM is a real improvement over their existing TDMA system, I think they'll have a hard time convincing customers of this after so many people were annoyed by TDMA when they first rolled out that technology. When they finally deploy the MMS portion of their 2.5g network, I imagine a lot of people will want to switch when they see that they can send pictures in their SMS's though.
