AT&T Wireless Pulls Back on Push-to-Talk

AT&T Wireless is waving a white flag on the walkie-talkie front, according to TheStreet.com.

"The wireless giant had planned to introduce two-way radio service this quarter. But executives on a conference call with analysts Friday said there had been a change of plan.

Instead of preparing their own offering, AT&T Wireless executives said they would work with other carriers to develop a common platform -- delaying the project indefinitely.

To some observers, the move is just a case of a few more wheels coming off the nation's No. 3 wireless player. But others say the decision is a wise concession given AT&T Wireless' pending merger with Cingular".
