Why are you comparing Alltel's "native" map to the other providers' maps that include roaming areas? If that is the comparison you wish to make, should you not use Alltel's "National Freedom" map, rather than a map of their licensed areas? Or if you wish to only include native coverage, (which is what Alltel is really claiming--the largest native network in terms of land area covered) you should compare the Alltel map shown to maps of the other carrier's "native" service areas.
