La Crosse, WI | New Centurylink, when done merging - look US CELL I'm not sure how much people would think this is probable. But one day, I was looking at my coverage maps from US Cellular and the new Centurylink maps.

The people at Centurylink are people that like buying up companies. And with the pace of integration that is already in place with Centurytel-Embarq... I don't think it will be long before they are ready for a new one. I think 'very long' is a term of about 3 years (+- 1 year). AND the core network to the new Centurylink will become a competitor to other data carriers for national bound data connections.
That could make the connections for an integration with US Cell an interesting one. And it would be one to compete with those of Verizon/ATT by enticing the more rural customers. It could be that the first shot was fired to that end when CTL ended their current agreements for cell coverages that used US Cell's towers as resellers of their service. And Legacy Embarq ended their cell agreements/services as well (I'm not sure if they used US CELL as a reseller or not).
Maybe they are just looking at getting a better deal for cell phone services because there will be a new native wireless system starting late next year. |

| Legacy Embarq was reselling Sprint service. I believe that agreement is over by Oct. 31st. |
