Alltel and their 4th quarter 2005 numbers (sorry very late)
Wireless net ads for this 4th quarter were 147k, which a lot of these ads were because of prepaid.
ARPU = $52.13
Churn= 1.73%
The company added 166,000 customers with 76,000 being postpaid and 90,000 being prepaid. They added 18,000 net customers in the former western wireless markets but they lost 37,000 customers in the former Cingular markets. This comes out to the total of a net 147,000 (147k) subscriber growth for the year.
You guys know they bought out Midwest wireless and they are supposed to be expected another 400,000 to the numbers.
They now have a total of 10 million subscribers.
Sorry for the big delay, and if you guys want to discuss anything please do.

Well I know financially the 4th quarter was extremely solid. I thought we were at 13 million subscribers plus we are getting midwest

Yea, it was a good quarter for Alltel in my view and especially with their past acquisitions should add to their total pops covered and subscriber base, although they did lose some subscribers in the Cingular area so we will have to watch that in the upcoming year and quarters. According to Alltel’s earnings it says that they have 10.662 million customers.

I do not think that counts Western Wireless yet or Midwest Wireless. I think with Western it is closer to 13 million
