As a Verizon Wireless customer, I would not be in favor of this merger. I'd prefer a better roaming agreement with Alltel (ie EVDO), but not a merger. One less major competitor in this wireless industry would spell even higher prices for consumers and less choice. I hope the DOJ would block any merger of this size...

What exactly would Verizon gain besides customers? Does Alltel truly have that much coverage where they don't overlap?
