More on Alltel
Description from Wikipedia:
Alltel is a cellphone and internet provider primarily based in the Southern United States. It was, until its acquisition by Verizon Wireless, the fifth largest wireless telecommunications company in the United States with 14.7 million customers, as of the fourth quarter 2008, behind Verizon, AT&T Mobility, Sprint-Nextel, and T-Mobile.
At its peak, Alltel operated a network in 34 states, with a wireless coverage area comprising the largest network in the United States by area. The company focused on small to medium size cities providing wireless services to residential and business customers in all 50 states through low-cost roaming agreements with the major national CDMA carriers including Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel. These agreements gave Alltel customers access to nationwide service while providing those carriers coverage in rural areas.
On June 5, 2008, Verizon Wireless announced it would acquire Alltel Wireless in a deal valued at $28.1 billion. The merger was approved by the FCC on November 4, 2008, and completed on January 9, 2009. With this merger, Verizon Wireless now has approximately 83.7 million wireless subscribers and covers nearly the entire United States population making it the largest network in the country by area covered and number of subscribers. However, 2.1 million of these customers will soon be divested, per the conditions of FCC and DOJ approval of the merger.
The complete integration of the non-divested Alltel markets into Verizon Wireless should be completed by 3rd Quarter 2009.
Pending regulatory approval, Verizon Wireless has agreed to sell the remaining 26 divested Alltel markets, remaining in the southern United States, to Massachusetts-based Atlantic Tele-Network, Inc.
