Just for fun: carrier rebranding

[AdmiralAK]

I've had a number of prepaid and postpaid carriers.
I've also lived through a number of rebrandings.
These are the rebrandings I've survived (in my areas: Boston USA and Greece):

USA:
Omnipoint --> Voicestream --> T-Mobile (used 2000 to 2005)
Cellular One --> AT&T wireless --> Cingular --> at&t mobility (current)

Greece:
Telestet --> TIM --> Wind (not currently with Telestet, used 2000 to 2003)
PanaFon --> PanaFon-Vodafone --> Vodafone (Used 2002 to 2005)



How about you? ;-)

In Italy we just had the rebrand
Omnitel -> Omnitel-Vodafone -> Vodafone-Omnitel -> Vodafone (every time changing all commercials and signs on shops).

Some countries have changed all operators' brands, such as:

Czech Republic:
Paegas -> T-Mobile
Oskar -> Vodafone
Eurotel Praha -> O2

Slovakia:
Eurotel Bratislava -> T-Mobile
??? (don't remeber!) -> Orange

Japan:
J-Phone -> Vodafone -> Softbank

For the US rebranding you really need a flow chart. It's much more complicated than AdmiralAK has shown.

Slovakia:
Eurotel Bratislava -> T-Mobile

Orange SK was Globtel.

Poland

Operator rebrands:
Idea->Orange
Era->T-Mobile - should just be in progress or even completed but still pending due to "legal sabotage" from Vivendi :-P

Prepaid rebrands:
Simplus->Simplus Team->Simplus again:-D

That was just my personal experience :-)
I hope someone has a flow chart somewhere (or is willing to make one) -
I find the whole consolidation thing fascinating
