I'm not getting this. Alltel uses CDMA/EVDO and AT&T uses GSM/HSPA. So I don't understand what it would mean for AT&T to buy customers and tower electronics. What are they buying exactly? Towers? Frequencies?
Customer accounts using CDMA cellphones. And then AT&T will commence a cutover process to get these customers on to their existing towers in the area and using GSM phones.
Very similar to what they did in the AT&T/Cingular, Blue network/Orange network merger.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-is-ATT-buying-22363192 Sat, 09 May 2009 10:49:19 EDT Re: What is AT&T buying? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-is-ATT-buying-22363116 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-is-ATT-buying-22363116 Sat, 09 May 2009 10:27:00 EDT Re: What is AT&T buying? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-is-ATT-buying-22362643 said by Answer Guy:

This is the same thing that Verizon did when they purchased Unicel last year...interestingly enough..the cutover for that was this week..but anyways....Unicel was primarily a GSM based carrier in more rural areas. Verizon as you know is CDMA. Verizon is holding on to the GSM equipment for roaming revenue. They have equipped all former Unicel customers with new CDMA handsets. I assume AT&T will keep the Alltel network around for this purpose as well..We'll see though.
