Verizon buys Alltel

I don't like Verizon, so I guess it's time to switch to AT&T. Prices are rumored to be dropping on the iPhone next week after the Apple developer's conference, so we'll see how that goes.

Which brings to mind one of my favorite commercials of yesteryear...
"You're not dealing with AT&T"
"Well I am now!"

 

Alltel Arena was the place where the NCAA blocked the local wireless signal during the tournament.
It forced the press guys to buy the NCAA access or file from their hotel, which is what many did.

 

He brought the 'chucks!

 

I used to have AT&T and recently switched to Alltel. So far, Alltel has been much better.

 

Wonder what this does to the Alltel sponsorship on Ryan Newman's NASCAR entry? The deal expires at the end of the year, so it may not matter.

On the other hand, this might give Newman a sponsor that actually offers cellular service at the site of 3 major NASCAR events a year (Alltel doesn't serve Daytona Beach).

 

That reminded me of the above.

 

Doesn't matter. If you don't have Sprint, you're not getting a call out of that infield on race days.

 

Come and get your love.

 

It has to end with the geeks bringing in Verizon's "Can you hear me now?" guy to finish the job on Chad, no?

 

That Verizon asshole is like Night Of The Living Dead. It started with one undead and multiplied into millions. How many people does that dweeb have following him around now? He's got a bigger posse than Jay-Z.

 

Just in case anyone cares:
