Gah!

VERIZON-ALLEL MERGER MEANS NEW PERKS FOR CUSTOMERS
Some northern Michigan cell phone users will be getting a load of new
perks thanks to a Verizon wireless make-over.  The merger between Verizon
and Alltel should be complete by the end of the year.  On Monday, the
Alltel store in Traverse City unveiled its new Verizon product line.  For
now, the store will sell and service both Alltel and Verizon phones.  The
store manager says customers should notice an increase in service and
signal strength.  The company will continue using the Alltel name until it
completes the billing and branding integration.

This is gonna suck. I just know it.
