AT&T plans to buy Centennial Wireless

It’s not quite Alltel, but AT&T will acquire Centennial Wireless, a regional provider with a rural focus. They cover the Midwest and Southeast regions. The deal will cost AT&T $944 million, but will bring them 1.1 million subscribers. It won’t give them more than Verizon-Alltel’s 80 some-odd million, but they won’t be far behind.

The deal is subject to regulatory approval, AT&T cautions. There may be divestiture involved; Centennial covers markets in parts of Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, an Texas.

   hopefully AT&T will improve the service in Puerto Rico . This moment it is the worst you can find in the world !!!!None of the employees understands what they are doing . They are just bright enough to push a button (although they do not know what the reaction is !!) Please AT&T , you have to get rid of those idiots and replace them by people with a brain
