Is it true that since the at&t buy out last yr cingy is going to dismantle part of there network?
I thought I heard cingy was going to get rid of parts of there 1900mhz in some cities and convert it all or most of it to the 850 mhz. Is this true or im i mistaken? Hows that network integration comming along?

Cingular has pretty much (if not completely) divested all customers and spectrum.
To that end Cingular has no intentions to give up any additional spectrum (which is what is implied with your question).
As with all carriers Cingular seeks at add spectrum where needed and allowed by FCC and DOJ monopoly requirements.

yea, and where networks provide "double" coverage, the towers are being "turned off" and mostly relocated where they are needed after they get approval.
The integration is just about done, northeast is completely done, and small areas around the country are being "mopped up". All will be done early in 06.

I do have a question about that. I know they introduced ENS a few months ago in order to get the phones to recognize blue or orange towers as one network. I live in a very small town that currently has two towers. Undoubtedly one was an AT&T tower prior to the buyout. One of the features of ENS is the ability for the different towers to load balance. It seems that the network congestion here is getting worse and worse. Wouldn't it be prudent to leave both towers in place so that the load can be distributed? If they do away with one of them I'll probably never get a call through.
I also have another question that I hope someone an answer. Is there any way to make my phone lock onto the stronger tower? Sometimes I'll be watching my...

beacuse they may "turn off" some towers, I doubt they would in an area if there are congestion concerns. Once all the towers are switched over to the cingular side, all the phones will use the same system, if they are cingular or att. The only way to get the stronger tower is if you lose signal completely, then it will search for another tower from another company (works just like roaming) I believe they are going to keep more towers than they turn off nationwide, like they did in my area.

Does anyone out there know what the maximum capacity of a gsm tower is? how many calls can a site handle at once?
...
i believe it depends on the amount of t-1 lines at the site, and the strength of the tower
