AT&T Wireless sold their network to Cingular. Cingular had the largest TDMA Network -- AT&T Wireless had a TDMA/GSM Hybrid. At that point Cingular used AT&T's TDMA and Cingular's TDMA and allowed calls to roam across either -- building their network very quickly. Of course, Bellsouth which owns Cingular was just purchased by AT&T, so, Cingular again becomes an AT&T property.

I stand corrected. The first reports I saw of it claimed EDGE not supported in version one. We'll see if Cingular supports it out of the gate -- they have a long history of not supporting the 'cool stuff' until the cool stuff is already implemented by everyone else.
