Oh great. Does this mean they will have yet another battle in NASCAR about the Alltel logo becoming the Verizon logo? We’ve barely begun to recover from the last fiasco (Cingular changing to AT&T).
Vodafone Group PLC confirmed Thursday that Verizon Wireless is in advanced talks about acquiring U.S. carrier Alltel Communications LLC.
News reports have suggested the possible deal would value Alltel, the fifth-largest U.S. wireless carrier by subscribers, at $27 billion.
Vodafone holds a 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless, which is controlled by Verizon Communications.
I can just hear the fights that this will spark. Oy.
