Certainly this is a decided advantage for AT&T ( T : Research , Estimates ) to have this wireless strategy already in place, so Bell Atlantic is not going to just sit by and let AT&T beat them.

That certainly does not parallel previous estimates.

They certainly outstripped initial estimates that we put together prior to the competition commencing.

Every advantage is temporary.

There won't be a night and day change in corporate strategy but there will be more emphasis on the wireless and consumer markets,

That certainly does not parallel previous estimates. It may be that communities where blacks live tend to be heavily policed. Black parents may rely upon police more (than other groups) when their kids go missing. There also may be simply more missing-child episodes among black families.
