I'm hoping Thumb Cellular is next to be bought out by Verizon. (If that's possible)
It would be a nice buy for them, even though the only thing up there is amish, mechanics and trees. 🤣

It would be much better for them to purchase Thumb Cellular and have 850 MHz coverage then to use PCS out here in the thumb because everything is so rural. They would have to put a tower every couple miles to cover everybody! I know Sprint is putting up towers in one part of the thumb but that's because it's corporate there and not iPCS. I don't know the coverage can't be that good.
I know Verizon coverage in SW Michigan, once off of I-94 is spotty. But you're right, PCS requires more towers than 850 does. If I remember correctly, Verizon's I-94 coverage has towers every 2 - 3 miles, since I rarely had less than 3 bars out of 4 bars.
The largest Cellular One company, Western Wireless, sold out to Alltel a few years ago.
they are explanding to quickly with this aquisition, and the customers are going to suffer.
Baby bells anyone? Hahaha.
Jackass.
Before you start calling me names, do some research first. The FCC has rules in place they prevent companies from owning both sides of a specific spectrum, therefore VZW can't "buy up all the CDMA" as you so eloquently put it.
Therefore, if SPRINT had the inclination to, they could develop their network in that area.
Just because Verizon has better coverage and better price point DOES NOT constitue a monopoly. Thats just competition.
