Cellular South Makes Bigger 3G Push into Mississippi
Cellular South + Divested Alltel/VZW + US Cellular ??
Why shouldn't a buyout, merger or third party aquisition happen?
I think it would provide a a step closer to creating a more competitive capalistic market due to the large gap that is being created by vzw/att over the rest.
It would not place them in the same league customer wise but it would expand their native markets and able them to provide a more national footprint.
A finacial advantage would be realized with reduced roaming cost and a postential stratgical possition with other carriers like (metro and cricket) to stop exclusivities and require 3g/4g roaming.

CS is a family business (a very successful one), and that limits both its potential for growth and the probability of being purchased.
What might happen is that with VZW's roll out of LTE, VZW effectively eliminates CS and someone gobbles up the remains; but even that's not entirely probable.
They are a private cell provider which means that don't have the share investors to back the acquisition financially. Even though it might seem like a good idea to go public and find investors this would just hurt the company. More than likely if Cellsouth went public Leap or Metro would step in and pick up the markets then clear the company as well as its subscribers.
Way back when Metro Pcs was a private company they did things for the community and actually cared about employees. But once the power house pre paid company went public there were to many hands in the pot and that is something Cellsouth is trying to avoid.
Think about it this way. Your an employee at a CellS...
