Rumored: Verizon to Buy Alltel

Author: Chris

4 Jun

A little birdie up in the sky called the CNBC reports that Verizon is in “in deep in talks to acquire Alltel“. How deep the talks I wouldn’t be able to say, but Alltel is ranked as the 5th American carrier so there’s no surprise Verizon is insisting on this purchase.

There’s no official comments yet which might indicate exactly that deepness of their talks. If this goes through, Verizon Wireless will have to wire no less than $27 billion to Alltel.
