Nothing is official here.
"AT&T has done a good job of reintroducing its brand. Cingular will take
a while to get rid of. They're at the middle of transition that just has
to be done, and it's like pulling off the Band-Aid--you just have to do
it," he says."
Here's the post where I suggested a transition schedule.
With the decision of AT&T to eliminate the Cingular branding in favor of
calling its wireless service "AT&T" it's time to phase out usage of the
alt.cellular.cingular Usenet group in favor of the alt.cellular.attws group.
I suggest the following transition strategy:
1. New threads should be posted to both alt.cellular.cingular and
alt.cellular.attws, until June 30th 2007.
2. Follow-up posts to threads that are only posted on
alt.cellular.cingular should add alt.cellular.attws, but keep
alt.cellular.cingular until June 30th 2007.
3. Beginning July 1st 2007, new threads should be posted only to
alt.cellular.attws.
4. Beginning July 1st 2007, follow-up posts to threads that are only
posted on alt.cellular.cingular, should remove alt.cellular.cingular,
and add alt.cellular.attws.
I think that this will work well. Look at how quickly
alt.cellular.t-mobile replaced alt.cellular.gsm.carriers.voicestream.
The latter group now has very, very, few postings.
