    There was a time frame. This transaction was supposed to be approved within 180 days. We are currently on day 310. So there was a time frame, but just like any other government time frame, they blew right by it.

    I feel that once the buyout was approved by the FCC while Bush was still in office, the FCC should have set a time frame for people to challenge the sale of the divested markets, and then once the time frame came up, the FCC under Obama should have ruled on this thing without dragging this thing out.

    With Verizon's last letter to the FCC they urged the FCC to comply with divestiture demands, but the last part of this paragraph is something that I do not have ANY knowledge about.

    The upcoming downtime is when the divested markets will be split into two seperate companies in billing and other customer systems. This is necessary because once either transaction closes they must operate as seperate companies.

    I can honestly say that I presume Stroud is less interested in the telecom field and more interested in what 1+ million buys in the Governmental Affairs and Homeland Security area (Committees seats now held by Burris). I doubt if Stroud will go away until Burris secures him some plum contracts and then his letters to the FCC about a paltry cell phone bid, will quickly vanish.

    Oh, and if Burris loses re-election, look for Stroud to beat this drum until your Grand kids have grand kids. :doh:

    I would assume in the areas where Verizon is taking over Alltel and selling their own customers to AT&T, Verizon wil be integrating the Alltel sid into the Verizon sid. I know for example in Michigan, Verizon has allready integrated some of the Alltel areas into the Verizon sid 21. The big thing now is Verizon finshing the Northern Michigan areas to Verizon once Verizon is able to complete the sale of their own customers to AT&T.

    Verizon isn't taking over except in like, one market (or two). AT&T and Atlantic Tele-Network are.

    For the people waiting for this to be over 2011 is a very long time and once Verizon does take over integration will take a little more time to complete.
