Uh Oh Cingular!!

Ahh, the sweet, sweet comfort of the rumor mill. Remember not too long ago when we heard that a certain regional carrier was the talk of a possible buyout? As that rumor is taking shape, it appears that Verizon Wireless as its eyes squarely on ol' Number Five, Alltel. If everything turns out to be on the up-and-up and Big Brother gives the merger a thumbs-up, the happy union will make Big Red the largest national carrier, having enough customers to crush Cingular's base by about 10 million.

I think I would wait and see how things turn out before I would call Verizon #1 again. Any thing can happen as you know between now and the time it takes to finalize the deal. I wouldn't mind though if Verizon did buy them out because it'll improve coverage in some areas.

I think that would be a pretty good thing to have happen, actually.

As far as coverage improvements go yes, but I personally get tired of hearing about the I am the #1 carrier every time the quarterly carrier results get posted.

Yeah, I can see where that would get old.
