AT&T Buys Dobson Communications
Have they been planning this?
As I was thinking about the coverage are and the way it compliments, I had started wondering if Cingular had planned on this acquisition for awhile, but it needed to work past the absorption of AT&T Wireless and get the network back on track for HSPA upgrades.
I'm still hoping AT&T will end up being the company taking over the GSM part of Alltel, and with no GSM customers, there should be no regulatory hurdles to pass for that.

I heard rumors that Verizon was going to take over Alltel. I'm not sure if that was just the CDMA side of the house or Alltel as a whole... anyone else hear anything to that effect?

Given the large areas in the west and midwest where Verizon and Alltel are the only rural carriers, they would have a great deal of divestitures.
I'm not sure how much coverage overlaps with AT&T, but T-Mobile and Sprint would be the most likely candidates with minimum if any divestitures.
However, personally I believe the company will be broken up with pieces going to AT&T, Verizon, and even T-Mobile and Sprint, as well as the possibility of some regional players such as US Cellular.
