Does it mean that everything goes through verizon, and more importantly, if they have to de-invest in the area where our plan is based out of....well, just what does that mean? Do they tear down the towers, or what?

Anyways...I'm confused. Anyone care to help me out?]]>Oct 31st 2008 2:32AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/30/department-of-justice-approves-verizons-alltel-acquisition-req/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/30/department-of-justice-approves-verizons-alltel-acquisition-req/Oct 31st 2008 7:27AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/30/department-of-justice-approves-verizons-alltel-acquisition-req/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/30/department-of-justice-approves-verizons-alltel-acquisition-req/Oct 31st 2008 9:00AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/30/department-of-justice-approves-verizons-alltel-acquisition-req/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/30/department-of-justice-approves-verizons-alltel-acquisition-req/
Verizon does not have an "extended home network" they consider the entire US your home calling network.

They are being required to sell off certain things and different markets to keep with up market diversity. But i really don't see many, if any customer (VZW or Alltel) being affected by this from a coverage standpoint. Chances are many of the towers Alltel subcribers are using at Verizon owned.]]>Oct 31st 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/30/department-of-justice-approves-verizons-alltel-acquisition-req/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/10/30/department-of-justice-approves-verizons-alltel-acquisition-req/
