AT&T Buys Edge Wireless

AT&T has agreed to acquire Edge Wireless, a regional GSM carrier in the Pacific Northwest. AT&T already owns a minority stake in the company, and will buy out the remaining 64.3% of the firm for an undisclosed amount. It will add Edge's 172,000 existing customers to its own subscriber base and will be able to offer better in-network roaming in the areas covered by Edge.
