Buyouts...

I would much rather have Sprint, or a private equity/cable company purchase Alltel. The Divestures would be much less with Sprint then VZW. Sprint plans are better. There CS is worse, the network quality where I am i a lot worse. But I believe they would ditch their limited network at least in my area for the Alltel network, they might be able to hold on to both here. And with a cable company they can buy up other carriers and spectrum at the next auction.

Maybe even T-Mobile, but I cannot stand GSM.

they sure got the money. But I just don't see them wanting to do anything more then they already are.

Sprint? Yeah the have a lot on their hands with iDen, the affiliates, and the money situation. But they will have a very good network once they get CDMA on the iDen sites and band.

also they have more spectrum then all the others combined. That is a big plus. The reason they don't need media flo as they are going to do it on their own network. The others don't have the bandwidth (spectrum) to do it.
