 PROFILE
Powertel sends Southern accents flying through sultry Southern skies. The company provides wireless PCS to about 1 million subscribers within six states in the US. Powertel uses the GSM (global system for mobile communications) digital standard and has reached separate merger agreements with fellow GSM operators VoiceStream Wireless and Germany's Deutsche Telekom (Deutsche Telekom has agreed to acquire VoiceStream but if that deal fails to close Powertel will be acquired by VoiceStream). The company markets its services -- which include caller ID, call forwarding, and text messaging -- in its stores and kiosks and through national retailers. Telecom investment firm ITC Holding owns about 23% of Powertel.
