AT&T chief: Wireless "at heart" of company

Having gained control of Cingular Wireless through its $86 billion purchase of BellSouth Corp. approved by the FCC last week, AT&T is adding new wireless services -- including marketing wireless under its own name -- and planning to offer ads on mobile phones and its TV and Net-access service. "The biggest asset we bought here was Cingular," said AT&T Chairman and CEO Edward E. Whitacre Jr. "We're about to become a company with wireless at its heart."
