Part of the agreement of Verizon purchasing Alltel was that they needed to divest 105 markets that were part of Alltel. 79 of them are already dealt with to AT&T for $2.35 billion which is waiting for approval. Atlantic Telecom just announced that they are purchasing more of those markets at the tune of $200 million covering 800,000 subscribers mainly in rural Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina.
I am not sure how much more of Alltel there is left to divest but things were just starting to get good by them. They recently did away with 2 year contracts and gave users 2 year prices for a 1 year contract…
I think this may be the final farewell for Chad once all the paperwork goes through.

Are we going to see a Verizorn commercial where the guy in the Red shirt beats Chad while the other three cheer him on?
