Whats your point....we all knew that the day they announced it.

From the news link: On Tuesday, Verizon offered to divest spectrum in 15 markets in addition to the 85 markets it had earmarked for divestiture earlier. For now at least, the acquisition is continuing forward and earlier this week Verizon said it believes the deal will close by the end of the year.

Thats from the news report on your link. It not over yet, read the whole thing. Things do look a little rocky but Verizon hasn't dropped the plan yet 🙂
