I don't think so. According to the reports, Cingular would still be buying
time from DK for three years (or is it four?). I would assume that Cingular
would continue to build up their own network, as needed, during that time.
I don't think anybody will see any change for quite some time. But, that's
just my two cents....

Actually should be "DT" -- Deutsche Telekom AG -- the parent company of
T-Mobile International, of which T-Mobile USA is a member.
