We are beginning to implement a new procedure for job postings. Quite frankly, we want this to be easier. We think that is we can make this as easy as possible, we’ll get even more jobs posted by upstate employers. As a test, we are now first posting the jobs to the GSATC Forums. http://forums.gsatc.org. The forums are a place to ask questions about the GSATC, get feedback from the board of directors, make suggestions for meetings and most of all — hear about tech jobs first. Give them a go. If you decide you’d like to join in our discussion, click on the register button at the top of the page.

The nation’s largest wireless voice and data network is getting larger in South Carolina. Cingular Wireless plans to invest more than $50 million this year in its South Carolina network increasing coverage and capacity, adding new cell sites, portable generators and back-up batteries, and rolling out new data features. This local investment is part of Cingular’s estimated $6.2 billion national network capital expenditure program this year.
“Every year Cingular invests millions in its network and this year is no exception with a large part of the expansion taking place in South Carolina,” said Rob Forsyth, vice president and general manager of Cingular Wireless- Carolinas. Forsyth added, “Cingular is committed to delivering best-in-class coverage and the overall best value in wireless.”
Of the approximately 350 new cell sites to be added across the Carolinas in 2005, more than 115 are slated for South Carolina — the most ambitious single year expansion since 1996. Year-to-date, Cingular has activated 28 new cell sites in South Carolina, enhancing coverage in nearly 19 counties.
