Voicestream Wireless
Voicestream wireless was founded in 1994 as a wireless telecommunications company based in Bellevue, Washington. The company?s purpose was to provide cellular service to the Seattle area. The founder of voice stream is the current C.E.O. John Stanton. The company was one of the first wireless company?s to provide GSM cellular service. GSM is a global system for mobile communication, using smart card technology. Since 1994 Voice stream has expanded its North American market from being the Seattle and Portland metro area to include all fifty states as well as Canadian Provinces in their service coverage area. Voice stream has also merged with Deutche Telekom, which is Europe?s largest cellular carrier forming the first transatlantic wireless communications operator utilizing the GSM digital wireless technology standard.
Voicestream?s main business at this point in time is to provide the highest quality digital wireless service to its customers. In May 2000, VoiceStream completed merger transactions with two regional GSM service providers, Omnipoint Communications and Aerial Communications. Voicestream fully integrated all three companies by the end of 2000 setting standard business practices and converting to a single customer-billing platform. Voicestream successfully launched the voicestream brand in eastern markets. Voicestream controls a large portion
