The
property swap with Verizon (formerly GTE, Bell Atlantic
|
| |
and
Vodafone AirTouch) enhanced ALLTEL's presence in the
|
| |
Southeastern
United States with stronger geographic clustering,
|
| |
three
large metro markets and an immediate 15 percent increase
|
| |
in
our wireless customer base. We also increased our geographic
|
| |
footprint
in Ohio and the Southwest as part of the same
|
| |
agreement, while additional
acquisitions in Louisiana later in the
|
| |
year
gave us Gulf Coast coverage from New Orleans to southern
|
| |
Florida.
In total, the year saw our communications customer base
|
| |
grow
to more than 10 million.
