GTE ACTIVATES CDMA PCS IN SPOKANE

SPOKANE, Wash.-GTE Wireless activated its Code Division Multiple Access personal communications services network in Spokane, Wash.

“The introduction of this new wireless service in Spokane completes our PCS market launch on schedule,” said Mark Feighner, president of GTE Wireless. “As one of the country’s leading wireless service providers, our goals are to be the easiest telecommunications company to do business with and to be a one-stop source for a full range of telecommunications products and services.”

GTE has PCS networks up in Cincinnati and Seattle, and it plans to upgrade its cellular networks to CDMA technology by the end of the year. GTE also bought the PCS license to serve the Denver metropolitan trading area, but subsequently sold it because it did not fit with the company’s strategy.
