Re: more consolidation (thoughts)
Last I checked(which was a while ago), Nextel was already planning to make the move to CDMA by 2010, so the buyout from Sprint(which was avoiding a Verizon buyout, if you believe the stories that cameout shortly beforehand) only fast tracked the move to CDMA by a few years.
I don't think that Alltel would be moving to GSM for several reasons. The fact that they now have the largest pure data footprint(according to in-house maps) in the nation is one, and the fact that they are trying to compete with the big V in bringing EVDO and other, newer technologies to market faster on their CDMA network.
