Editor’s Note: The RCR research and editorial staffs have compiled this list of terrestrial-based, two-way mobile data operators based on interviews with industry contacts. The chart is arranged alphabetically since many of the companies are just starting to offer mobile data service.
Although most cellular and specialized mobile radio carriers offer some type of circuit-switched mobile data, RCR has focused on those companies that have indicated a major commitment to mobile data.
Bell Atlantic Mobile and Nynex Mobile Communications have merged their operations. Destineer Corp. is listed this year as SkyTel Corp. PageMart Inc., Paging Network Inc. and SNET Mobility Inc. have been added to the list. McCaw Cellular Communications Inc. is now AT&T Wireless Services.
