Re: There is a problem with this deal here...

There in lies the issue. A major one at that. Vermont is a hippie like state. Sorry to say this seriously but I worked the state with Unicel installing towers and hanging gear until I moved into the network group.

The state just doesn't have work. And some will claim we are as good as the rest !!! But the truth is your not. The state is hurting for work and no company wants to come there. They are in shambles for communications. Verizon knows the network there is hurting and wants to at least buy it to help try and offer evdo there for high speed. They can't offer dsl and make a profit they will try with evdo and wireless.

It's a shame but true the area is really hard hit for work, and most that do work don't work a tech job and care about broadband.

I live in an area that would be directly affected by this. One 800mhz is Unicel, the other 800mhz is VZW. Nextel provides spotty coverage, USC is basically non-existent, and there is no sprint/at&t or t-mobile.

Living where there's basically one wireless company in all of northern VT is not gonna work. I hope they sell off this part of the state to a GSM carrier and maintain the network. Unicel is still building new GSM towers as we speak [one in cabot, known perhaps for its cheese: population 1600] was just built. VZW just won't commit to that kind of coverage.
