yeah, the network will be up and running, but will they need a call center? My guess would be that all customer service issue would go through verizon after this buyout is complete.

true but they now have 1.3 million customers so my guess is that will keep 60% of the staff.

Look at the bright side...It took Verizon 6 months to complete the acquistion of a small 30K sub carrier last year, so you can imagine it will take almost a year(from now) to complete this deal, which should give you plenty of time to polish your resume and start interviewing.
