Re: vastly different per license prices
VZW is a national carrier in their own right *today*. If you haven't taken a good look at the VZW calling area, I seriously suggest you do so: in fact, there is less reason to incur roaming charges with VZW as your carrier than there is with *any* other carrier (and yes, that includes Nextel). Alltel is still a largely regional carrier (and primarily a Southern carrier) and has no real expansion room *without* running head-on into the concrete wall that is VZW. VZW, on the other hand, *is* expanding into the larger metropolitan areas in Alltel's territory, so Alltel will either have to put up or sell out.
When it gets down to cases, VZW is the largest non-GSM cellular provider in the US (Vodaphone plc's reluctance to sell is because the US, like it or not, is still considered important, not necessarily because VZ hasn''t waved enough money under their noses). |
