Apparently market share is no longer Cingular's main objective. This article seems to say that Cingular is shedding customers who roam too much. What's your take?

He knew when he signed up that the roaming was limited to 50%. Sprint used to have a similar clause, not sure if they still do. His best bet is to sign up with Verizon, since the roaming onto their extended network is not limited. He'll have more coverage than he did before, and if he gets a tri-mode phone he'll have _far_ more coverage than he did with Cingular.

Companies have the right to not sell to unprofitable customers. Look at what Cingular is doing to the AT&T Wireless customers that had sweetheart calling plans at low rates.
