FYI, this merger happened 2 years ago. I worked for Verizon when I was laid off due to this. They are now Verizon Business. Verizon Local bought them up and that was February of 2006. They are the ones controlling the FIOS service backbone. Due to FCC regs thou they have to stay separate. Just thought I would give you a little background there.
As far as the merger with Alltel, They have been in bed with each other for years. Verizon and Alltel have been sharing the backbone for coverage. Seperate switchs thou.
