  -Verizon was #1 in 17 out of 20 markets surveyed (in 2 of those 17 =

  -Alltel was #1 in 3 markets (Tampa, Cleveland, and Seattle)

most=20

  I wonder how long Sprint can continue in business as an independent=20

  their Wi-Max plan has gone nowhere. Some say Verizon should acquire=20
  them, but I don't think that Verizon wants or needs them.
