Get on the stick, Verizon!
I am anxiously awaiting for Verizon to come to Charlottesville, Virginia, sometime in the 2009/2010 time frame. If anyone out there has any updates as to how soon I can get rid of my current carrier and move over to the best there is, I would appreciate it.

With UVA as well as several other colleges in that "missing section" it would be a GREAT addition to The Network. I too, look forward to this happening. As of now, we roam on Alltel there, I believe.

the way i understand it and i could be wrong, Veerizon does not have the correct licenses. Verrizon needs a license or rights to spectrum in an area it wants to build a tower/ network.

Most of the licences for the calling spectrum have been sold off to carriers or private investors and in order for Verizon to build there they wo...

I thought the same thing, Below. However, on August 27, 2007, our daily newspaper, The Daily Progress, headlined on the front page, no less, that Verizon would absolutely be here by 2010. No mention was made about the auction, which, btw, involves 700 Mhz bandwith, which Alltel is going to need desperately to stay solvent. They sold themselves to two financial holding companies on May 21st of last year to get cash to pay down debts and have money on hand for the auction. IF they win some frequencies, they will probably be around for a while. If they fail, my thinking is that since they are not in control of their own destiny, that is, they don't own themselves any longer, it could be the end of Alltel as a service provider, Chad and all...
