If you aren't a cingular customer how do you expect to use it?

It would seem that it would be like using Cingular voicemail if you don't
have cingular service.

Most likely, you won't be able to connect. If you do somehow get a data
connection, you will probably get charged by your cellular phone company,
at whatever rates they charge.

If possible, the market for data services goes away.

Subscriber of Cingular, just use Tmobile for data. If a Tmobile customer,
use Cingular. As use spreads, both drop data.
