Comments on news posted 2008-06-04 16:25:39: CNBC reports that Verizon is in deep negotiations to acquire Alltel for around $27 billion, which I'm fairly sure Verizon has in their petty cash drawer. ..

Sprint can file an Anti-trust lawsuit if Verizon raises the roaming rates right after the merger.

Rather it be Verizon that AT&T!!

I am on Alltel and am very happy with their services. LOVE the My Circle plan! Use up VERY little of my plan's minutes that way....

Back on topic, I MUCH rather have Verizon buy Alltel than AT&T. I hate AT&T with a purple passion on the way they have treated me in the past. Don't hear good things about Verizon's billing, though....

Verizon Wireless' billing is fine and pretty accurate. You may be confusing it with Verizon Communications' with their alleged FiOS billing issues.

Here comes an EVDO cap.....

Alltel is about the last man standing in the EVDO arena that DOESN'T have a cap on its EVDO service. Not that I ever get close, but I still think it is a nice touch.

My guess is that if Verizon gets a hold of Alltel there will be a cap....like the 5GB Verizon has. That sucks...

Yep, and no govt entity will ever notice all the cell carriers are copying each other's anticonsumeristic policies.

I was an old Cellular One customer before they were bought by alltel in 2005.

I wonder if verizon will let me keep my 1200 anytime minutes, free mobile2mobile, and free night/weekend plan for the $39 a month i pay now.

So far alltel has... and i hope that doesn't change if Verizon buys them out.

Great

My old cell one contract is up in July and AT&T took them over, I want out so bad. I was planning on switching to Alltel but now I'll just be sucked into another fathead, couldn't care less what the customer wants, monopoly. Sprit maybe but with my luck Spring will become the new AT&T soon.

EDIT: And I'm sure one of the pigs will buy T-Mobile too, then I'll only have 3 choices. Monopoly 1 or Monopoly 2. In 2006 when I signed another 2 years with Cell one I had my choice of: CellularOne (RIP), Alltel, Cingular (RIP), T-Mobile, Verizon, & Sprint.

It's probably a merger play- this merger leaves T-Mobile USA even farther behind in the US Wireless industry, so to some it seems more likely that Deutsche Telekom will buy Sprint.

And have T-Mobile operate a GSM, CDMA, iDen, and WiMax network?

Re: Sprint rising

I've seen plenty of Wall Street analysts basically ignore that entire factor- I'm not sure if they even bothered to look that much into technology.

S ended today down, though.

Yeah... well what about the employees?

As an employee of one of the companies mentioned, I am just wondering if my job is secure.

This completely sucks..

I've been an Alltel customer since they took over Cellular One here. The service has been great and I don't have any complaints what-so-ever.

Now, don't EVEN get me started with Verizon. I hope that us Alltel customers get "Grandfathered" in like they did with Cellular One.

As for Verizon's data plan, I might look into a data card before the merger happens. That way I get to keep my unlimited data plan (hopefully).
