AT&T Inc. has announced that the company, through an affiliate, has entered into a definitive agreement with Edge Wireless Holding Company to acquire full ownership in Edge Wireless, a regional wireless company with approximately 172,000 subscribers that operates in several markets in the Pacific Northwest.
Under the terms of the agreement, AT&T, which has held a minority ownership interest since Edge Wireless’ inception in 2000, will acquire the remaining 64.3% of the company.
The addition of Edge Wireless’ GSM network will complement AT&T’s existing GSM networks in Northern California, Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming. AT&T customers will enjoy broader in-network coverage in these areas, and Edge Wireless customers will gain access to AT&T’s full portfolio of products and services as well as AT&T’s fully integrated GSM network, which now covers more than 290 million people in 13,000 U.S. cities and towns.
The transaction is contingent upon regulatory approval and is expected to close by mid-2008.
So the Edge network on the Edge Wireless makes this a….a….dadgum, I know there is a silly joke in there somewhere…..and if you have a Razr phone…dammit, I lost it….
So people in the Northwest with a Razr on AT&T;will have a double-edged Razr???
Please stop the bad jokes.
did you have to make it look so easy, Tremor?
What can I say… Sometimes, I can be on the cutting edge of comedy…
Tremor, you are walking a razor’s edge with this silly puns.
“Tremor, you are walking a razor’s edge with this silly puns.”
Pretty sharp, isn’t he?
I’ve honed my skill at dry, Pythonesque humor to a fine point.
However, I will refrain from some of the more risque or edgy humor lest I cut the thin skin of some of our more uptight readers.
Tremor, you have quite the rapier wit

“lest I cut the thin skin of some of our more uptight readers.”
I suggest they use Edge shaving gel….
So these people are finally free to sign up for 3G service?
“Tremor, you have quite the rapier wit “
My father always told me I was sharp as a tack…
I know I may be aproaching the edge with these jokes, but I just can’t help myself. But perhaps it is time we cut to the heart of the subject at hand, and sever ourselves from these painful puns.
A great way for AT&T;to Razor their profile and ‘Edge their bets! Doh!
Does this mean U2 are sellouts?
bawdy, we want bawdy!
Who cares for “pythonesque”, I want Shakespearean!
So this thing will suck twice as bad now?
Sorry, but the Edge network the iPhone uses is quite frankly the weakest link BY FAR of the iPhone. The rest is pretty solid in fact.
Where’s Occam’s Razor to comment when we need him.
i’ve been edged out by funnier people.

He’s out probably shaving what’s left of Schrödinger’s cat.
I believe Britney already did that.
While the Northwest has IMPROVED coverage, they’re still missing a state entirely lacking ANY service!
Now if AT&T;will buy Primus Canada, the other GSM phone provider in Canada, they could have 93% of the Canadian market available to iPhone.
