San Francisco - Technology media company CNET, a unit of CBS (NYSE: CBS), said on Tuesday that it has launched a beta test of the first-ever independent wireless service coverage map in eight cities.

Developed by Root Wireless, the service aims to provide cell phone users "an objective analysis" of network performance, helping them to determine which of the four major wireless carriers -- AT&T (NYSE: T), Sprint (NYSE: S), T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) or Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) -- is best suited for their particular needs.

The new Root Coverage service on CNET also is testing in New York; Los Angeles; the San Francisco Bay Area; Seattle; Chicago; Dallas and Orange County, Calif., with plans to roll out in additional cities over the coming months.
