In my own experience, I have found them to be liars, sneaks and 
otherwise very unethical from the top down.  If you do anything of
substance with them, you had better make sure that you get it in 
writing witnessed by ten people.
I have spoken with at least one of their dealers in this area who 
shares my sentiment at least from the aspect of Bell Atlantic Nynex
company store stealing the dealers customers.

Well, in a way you are correct.  However, viewing the situation from 
the standpoint that Bell Atlantic Nynex is profiting from a public 
resource (airwaves) I think that they should be held more accountable 
to serving the public interest.  Of course the cellular companies have
lobbied to the extent that cellular telephone service is (wrongly) 
considered to be a luxury rather than a neccessity.
