Licensed service areas/East Ohio/N. WV panhandle?

According to Verizon's website, when you look up the "Verizon Wireless Network" in eastern Ohio, it looks like VZW has obtained a license to have coverage in Guernsey County, OH in the Cambridge, OH area. This was formerly an Alltel area only for CDMA service.

It appears that Verizon is expanding in this part of the country along the I-70 corrider, but does anyone know about Belmont County, OH and Ohio County, WV all along I-70, if this area will light up with Verizon coverage anytime soon? Or if Verizon has a license to expand to the Pennsylvania line from Cambridge, OH where they already have towers.

I hope they fill in this gap in their service sometime soon. Any info, please post.

Thanks in advance.

I travel frequently from Pittsburgh to Columbus on I70 or US22/I70. Coverage has improved greatly in last five years, probably because of Alltel roaming agreements. It would still be nice if VZW put their own towers on I70 corridor.

In the panhandle and northern WVA (I68 corridor to the Maryland line) I usually get good VZW digital coverage (not extended network). This may be signals from Pennsylvanis towers, I'm not sure.

Thanks, well since it's a well traveled west to east corridor along with knowing that wireless competition is a hot topic these days, it's probably just a matter of when it expands to connect Pennsylvania to Ohio/WV, via I-70.

Anyone have more information as to if or when more VZW towers are going live in east central Ohio, Northern WV panhandle, along I-70?

If not, is verizonwireless.com the best source of information, and is their maps updated often?
