Re: Verizon Wireless to buy Alltel
This is not good AT ALL... I really hope that it is not allowed to go through... but the FTC has already shown time and time again that it doesn't care (look at how quickly "the new at&t" was formed) so I have a feeling it will go without contest.
And yes, I definitely think that once it does go through, the roaming agreements between Alltel and Sprint will most likely be price-hiked to match Verizon. Under the current agreement, Sprint pays Alltel less than they pay Verizon for roaming. From what I understand its significantly less.
