said by WeSRT4:My predictions for 2006: Verizon buys Alltel
This IS the DEAL announcement I've been waiting for, for years. Their wireless divisions are pretty chummy as it is now, and this would make sense in wireless, but one thing I see a problem, Alltel's ILEC areas.
VZ is trying to shed "rural" ILEC translation UNPROFITABLE areas. So if they bought out Alltel these people would probably get sold down the river again. --
