I love writing about smaller carriers and their efforts to keep growing. On that note, we bring you this story which involves Mississippi-based Cellular South and their plans to acquire Alabama-based Corr Wireless.
Details of the deal were not disclosed and the acquisition requires regulatory approval, which Cellular South hopes to get in several months.
Corr Wireless has 130 employees and provides its service to more than 30,000 customers in 18 counties of North Alabama and in Rome, Georgia. The area includes the cities of Huntsville, Madison, Decatur, and Gadsden, plus the counties of Blount, Cullman, Marshall, Dekalb and Jackson in Alabama.
Both parties say that the partnership is a good fit for both companies.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
