 PROFILE
Dobson Communications has expanded its wireless horizons, with some help from Ma Bell. Dobson provides cellular phone service to more than 1 million proportionate subscribers in rural and suburban parts of 19 states. A major component of the company's operations is its American Cellular joint venture with AT&T Wireless, managed by Dobson. The company also has a nationwide roaming agreement with AT&T Wireless, its largest roaming partner. Dobson has upgraded its networks to digital, employing both TDMA (time division multiple access) and CDMA (code division multiple access) wireless standards. CEO Everett Dobson, whose family founded the company in 1936, owns a controlling interest; AT&T Wireless holds a 26% stake.
