Alltel will never merge with verizon. Alltel has more on hand cash than verizon, and Scott Ford (alltel ceo) is way to proud to give up his family farm. 😁

Where do you get that Alltel has more on hand cash than VZW? I would like to see some #'s on that cause there is no way...thanks for the laugh though...what were your 2Q results:

Service revenue: $6 billion, did you beat that?

Operating cash flow: 2.7 billion, did you beat that?

I'd like you to back up your previous statement please...

I heard a pretty good rumor the other day from a South area VP that ALLTEL wanted to spin off the wireless division, like AT&T did with ATTWS. Verizon's interest was in then buying the towers & spectrum from ALLTEL Wireless, converting the towers to VZW freqs (they're already CDMA), then leasing space BACK to ALLTEL Wireless, like Spreenk does with Virgin Mobile & Qwest.

I thought it was BS when I heard it, but it's so complicated, it just might be true. After all, truth is often stranger than fiction, isn't it?
