Verizon would not win in any battle especially with the massive rollouts with FIOS as well as the potential $50B+ for Voda’s stake in VZW. If Sprint sees that the cost, around $30B, would be good and there would be a lot of synergies to offset some of that purchase, then Sprint will pull the trigger. We all know it makes sense for Sprint to do so, problem is, will they? Will Shareholders allow for another merger when the Nextel merger is not going quite as smoothly? We shall see.

It would be tough for Verizon to add $30B, then add $50B+, and then add the capital expenditures that is being paid for FIOS and other developments. Remember, they do have $30B+ of debt so that might hurt a little bit.

There will also be synergies the problem is, how many, and how much would it make that $30B price tag. Also with regarding regulatory bodies if it would be approved or not with or without divestitures. Of cour...

It is probably one of Scott Fords golfing buddies.

Pros: Nothing Changes, and Stock goes through the roof.

Cons: Alltel is still only the 5th largest carrier.
