in 2010 none you will care about this merger..... Its a smart move for Alltel.. Some of you Alltel lovers are looking at the short term... the recent auction is a good indication of where the market is going. Alltel is a private company, that can do very little to expand, the companies that purchased Alltel took it private for a reason, to turn and and sell it. The two owners are not in the business of building up Alltel, they are an investment firm. The new Technology that is coming out in about 2010, 2011,LTE I believe its called, will cost allot of money to roll out. Alltel doesn't have the funds to keep up with sprint, vzw,or att, or t, GSM, and CDMA will give way for LTE 4G soon, I am sure there will be multiple phones that can switch back and forth, but like myself ,and some of the rest of the tech geeks, we want the latest best technology. cdma and gsm will go the way of analog, and alltel can't afford that. Sprint does not have the money to take over another carrier, and vzw and alltel makes sense, and with any take over, vzw or any company would take what works best at alltel and transfer that to vzw, and the rest would be scrapped. I have never had alltel service, but I heard they have great phones, and good deals, and with any company, i am sure customers would be grandfathered in. My uncle still has his same plan from 5 years ago, its a hell of a deal and he does not have to change his plan unless he changes his phone, and he is from the old school days, as long as it rings and answers he is happy.

In the world of capitalism , this is going to happen, if you owned a business on the street corner, and you had an opportunity to buy out your competitor, to increase your presence, wouldnt you do it?

I work for Verizon Wireless. Our Ma Bell, which is Verizon Communications has the same type of system also. Verizon has a Disaster recovery team posted all around the country in times of emergency. Ask ATT, and ask the federal government during the aftermath of Katrina, which network was up and running......It's the Network........ I am sure ATT has a good disaster team also, what company wouldn't? But Verizon who know owns MCI.....does these type of drills all the time throughout the year, we just don't need to gloat about it. We hope to never have to use it.
