This was a very highly blogged about subject when Cingular became AT&T again and to most people it was confusing.

In corporate America where the billions of dollars exchange hands, the customer is usually the last person to know about such deals. So does this in any way affect the customer after all it boils down to them in the end.

Well for most people they won’t really care much about what happens as long they get a clear reception and their bill on time. Few people even bother to look at whose logo is on their bill, I usually don’t. Combining the strengths that both company’s posses under one umbrella might provide the customer a broader range of services probably never before experienced.

Especially now since Apple announced their iPhone, along with a partnership to Cingular, which is expected to be released in June. The functionality of the iPhone is set to rival most of the current phones on the market.

I’m guessing this was the opportune time for AT&T to merge with Cingular to get as many users as possible to sell the iPhone too. From a business point of view it makes sense. But how many people are actually going to accept the $600 base cost of the iPhone will have to be seen.

There have been some voices being heard about the terms and conditions associated with a getting a cell phone through Cingular, will it be the same when getting an AT&T cell phone?

I would imagine that as long as customers don’t feel too many differences with their contracts and any new terms or conditions I don’t think any of them bother who buys whom and what their name changes too. After all while calling your friends and family you don’t really say, “Yeah, I’m calling you from my AT&T cell phone” or do you?
