wut ever happened to alltel and vzw merging?
i thought i saw on here not too long ago that verizon and alltel were going to merge like att and cingular did. wut happened? i think they should really join. they would have the biggest network. they already use each other's towers for roaming...but use cdma, and both use about the same phones. i really hope they do join...that would be great

We just knocked out 1 major competitor in the wireless industry. I don't know if the FCC and the DoJ would be to keen on doing it again. At least not so soon. They were already very hesitant in approving the Cingular-AT&T merge in fear of eliminating consumer choice and competition between companies. Even if Alltell IS only a regional carrier, I just don't see it happening.

It may depend on who's in office. The Bush administration has been pretty weak on antitrust, Kerry could be the opposite. Either way, I would 'never say never' to another merger.
