Re: Now now Karl

Give SterlingJ85 a cigar. Right on the money. Western Wireless had a huge footprint. Around here, they were known as Cellular One, now they're Alltel. Western had started rolling out a GSM network before they were bought out. I'm not sure whether or not Alltel is continuing that build.

Crawl a little out of your cave and learn a little about the rest of the US before you start calling people trolls.

AFAIK, Alltel has overlaid CDMA/GSM across all the old Western Wireless network for purposes of roaming revenue from other carriers.

While Alltel does have customers in these markets, most of their revenue in these parts does actually come from other carrier's customers roaming. For this very reason, no matter who picks up the divested areas will more than likely keep these networks alive until the technology has been sunset (for GSM and CDMA this could be a decade - for TDMA/AMPS some sites may have aleady been turned down in some areas if there is little demand on the network).
