Re: Will Sprint be buying up all the divested areas??
I think this will be a good time for regional to pick some up. All depends on how desperate Verizon is to sell them.
Nebraska for example Verizon only has Omaha and Lincoln, Alltel had the entire state.
If they will sell it to them Cox has a KILLER opp to buy a next gen network and a bargain price and let Verizon keep the spectrum.
In the Dakota's I would expect to see a sale to US Cellular this makes complete sense, and they would more than likely buy. US Cellular has not invested in much 3g so I would assume sitting on some cash.
My question is do they have to give up the customers or just the networks?
That will play REALLY strange, imagine you are currently a Verizon customer and employee.
Verizon sells you to Cox, then Alltel customers become Verizon. Talk about brand confusion!
So if Obama wins expect to see a QUICK chop up of those networks! If McCain wins expect to see a long courting process. |
