Cingular is seriously interested in merging with either AT&T Wireless or T-Mobile next year, according to Business Week. Citing an unnamed company insider, the magazine claims the company is aiming to strike a deal by the mid-2004, although no formal talks are yet under way. Chief Executive of SBC (parent of Cingular) Edward Whiteacre is quoted as saying "I don't think it's any secret we would like to be bigger wireless player ... it's not years. It's, ya know, over the next number of months"
