What exactly was the point of this merger?

This seems like a lose-lose to Alltel customers if you ask me.

Verizon bought Alltel, including their towers. Rest assured that Verizon will use and upgrade those towers, using them to expand and enhance the Verizon Wireless network. That's half the point of the entire deal.

What on earth is this Motorola/Veri...

commercials

Has anyone else noticed in the Alltel commercials the verizon guy is now just in the background, not saying anything. I think it's cute.
