Name Brand Confusion

OK.. once upon a time, there was a cell phone company called AT&T Wireless.. they sold themselves to a little company called Cingular Wireless, and then there was no more AT&T Wireless.. now.. while this sounds like a sad, sad story for little AT&T Wireless.. it doesn’t end there.. see, this other little company called SBC bought all of AT&T (the little, itty, bitty, phone company) and now that they have completed that little purchase.. they are changing the name of Cingular (who they own a good chunk of) back to…. wanna take a guess?

Yep..AT&T Wireles… only.. apparently, AT&T is no longer ‘cool, hip, and in touch with its youth’ so, the marketing type folks at SBC have decided to change the name to: at&t apparently.. they think this will make them part of the ‘in crowd’ since they won’t have to worry about the lazy people who always type with ‘u’ for you, 2 for two.. etc..etc.. having to remember to hit the shift key for all four characters, just for one…
