Albuquerque, New Mexico?
I was thinking if Alltel's ABQ network is divested, it could possibly end up with Cricket.
I am also wondering though, could MetroPCS or US Celluar buy the Albuquerque Alltel network to gain a foothold here if it is divested? Of course, it would be the entry of a carrier that nobody in Albuquerque has ever heard of.
In the past it has not been uncommon to see complete new company names appear.
It is likely that Albuquerque is on the target list.
This is not a guarentee that it will be divested becuase if the spectrum holdings arent too high...
