Re: So what will happen to Chad...
I seem to recall that Verizon Wireless was interested in Alltel at one time in the past, but I guess that deal fell through.

It's the end of Alltel. I bet this investment firm sells them in pieces to everyone else (or just Verizon Wireless).
Alltel still has the largest footprint. Nice land and towers where a lot in the South can't go. Bet that is worth megabucks.

I still say Sprint should have never purchased Nextel, but, instead, should have bought Alltel; they would have then become the largest carrier (footprint wise and total customer wise) in no time flat; best of all, it would have been far easier to integrate Alltel into their own company than Nextel.
Hopefully if this sell-off happens, Sprint will get wise and buy up as much of it as they can. |

Phoenix, AZ | Sprint has horrible customer service and quality. If anyone were to buy them it would be Verizon Wireless. VZW has the best customer service and call quality. Why ruin Alltel with Sprint! |

Why ruin Alltel with Sprint! Sprint has terrible customer service, yes, but their product is unbeatable; they have better EVDO coverage than Verizon, better/cheaper plans/phones that you can download practically anything to, and they're not as stingy as Verizon is (I was once a staunch supporter of Verizon).
call quality? Verizon? Sprint? I detect no difference. |

| I had Alltel for two yrs and ATT before that and was happy with both. They both worked flawlessly signal wise even in the NC mountains. however I'm now with ATT and i have to say customer service is way better. Alltel had a problem that i had to call in about every other week on because voice mails would get stuck in the system and keep coming after i deleted them, then the crappy customer service you got.
ATT will probably buy them out after the firms get through with them |

Alltel is 100% CDMA...AT&T is 100% GSM...why would AT&T buy a huge amount of territory it really didn't have a need for (it'd cost WAY too much to convert all that). |

| Not true, Alltel has a massive GSM roamer network out here in the West from when they acquired Western Wireless... True, all their own customers are on CDMA, but I'm betting T-Mobile and AT&T would love to have that network that they keep having to shell out large amounts of cash to have their customers roam on for their own...
I personally want T-Mo to pick up that chunk of Alltel at least, but that's just me. :P |

|  Doubt they will sell Alltel in Pieces
The buy out was at a premium price, any of the other carriers could build anentire network with newer technology for half of what the purchaser paid for Alltel.
If they planned on selling the pieces they wouldn't have, I am by no means in the know but from the research I did, because I have a distinct interest in the future of Alltel, the company would only be worth about 1/3rd of the buying price if sold in pieces.
It appears that the new owners want to operate the company at it's record setting profit level.
Again I get my info from the financial rags so it is a guess like all the rest.
