Alltel/AT&T divested markets

[TeAnna K]

Yup, or some concession. Sell the dude a market or something...

Watch what ya say, he may buy yours!!!!!!

Okay, they got Congressman Davis involved as of yesterday. Um yeah, Joe Stroud is NOT going away and I can't see any possibility of a resolution to this whole thing anytime soon. At the least it's MONTHS away and honestly, I now am leaning more to believing that a 2011 resolution is more and more likely...

Exactly we don't need him over here

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.

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

Good way to keep up on it.

I believe it will happen this year yet, but how soon is anyones guess.

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.

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:
