Re: Roaming Agreements? It won't impact the roaming agreements. Without Alltel, Verizon's coverage sucks in the south. Also, without Verizon, Alltel's coverage is nonexistent in major metropolitan areas and other large portions of the country.
Bottom line.... both of their networks are vastly incomplete. They need each other. |

Springfield | If I'm not mistaken. I think Alltel has the largest foot print of any of the companies. The foot print is just largely in rural areas. When Verizon first started after the GTE/Bell Atlantic Merger, they were Sprint's largest customer. I am not sure if they are anymore. |

Mobile, AL | I believe they do have the largest footprint. However, most of that footprint is farm land and back roads. |

Duluth, GA | Exactly.. where they are no other providers. On the other hand, Verizon isnt' the only one in major cities. Basically if they wanted Alltel can shift to another roaming partner.

| verizon is 2nd on alltels roaming. Sprint is first as they also roam EVDO off each other. Alltel is sprints first choice too. It was the first type agreement in wireless history. And between the two you have the best coverage you can possible have. |
