Verizon-Alltel Deal Given Green Light by FTC
Dec 10, 2008, 1:40 PM by Eric M. Zeman
The last potential roadblock standing between Verizon Wireless and its planned acquisition of Alltel has been cleared with approval of the deal by the Federal Trade Commission. The FCC and Justice Department have already approved the acquisition, which will cost Verizon $5.9 billion to become the nation's largest provider of wireless services. Verizon will divest over 100 markets around the country in order to meet the FCC's requirements.

great for boondock cell coverage but
when is verizon going to release a hand set that isn't a total pos 👿
i would like to extend my deepest sympathy to all alltel customers, sorry verizon ate you up. you can keep your great perks for a little while, but eventually you'll need a new hand set, and verizon will force you into their lamo plans.

I keep wondering what will happen to Sprint...
This is by no means a bash Sprint thread so don't get all defensive over your chosen cell phone company...
Sprint and Verizon had cheap roaming agreements with Alltel (the largest cellular network by area). Sprint and Verizon put each other at the bottom of their PRL because of the expense of it. So, what's going to happen now that Sprint no longer has a cheap roaming partner? Will they start charging for roaming again or will they think their network is strong enough to operate without roaming?

sprint will stay strong and keep doong what their doing. They still have a good cash flow and good some of the best plans out their.

In accordance w/ the DoJ/FCC/FTC merger consent conditions, VZW must freeze roaming rates for at least four years.

woot good bye chad!!
The last commercial should have chad going to the Verizon building looking for a job and the Verizon guy go thinks back to all the old commercials and how chat treated him and tells him no and slams the door
I think Chad deserves far worse than that.
...
I think Chad should just be added to the crowd behind Test Man. Alltel is being assimilated...not closed. Welcome to the team Chad. LOL.
If this were a movie
... this is where we'd see the shadow slowly spreading over the land, and the necks of countless citizens craning to the sky, the color draining away from their faces as the gravitas of the impending horror comes to rest upon them.
Then we'd got a scene of the female lead hysterically saying something like "It's too late!" Only to be rebuffed by the hero with something along the lines of "It's never too late, baby" and then racking a shotgun.
In reality, though . . . we'll see. In the meantime, good for them, jumping through the insane regulatory hurdles to finally get it done.
