Thanks to all.
The GSM World page is rarely up to date.
According to the Cingular web site, looks like there is a cell in Fort Bragg. It looks like one cell. GSM cells are only 17 or so miles across.
Still would nice to have a database of US and other global locations with who services them and what technology.
