Is there an alltel phone that is louder than the others that is suitable for the hard of hearing?

Great graph! That is by far the best tidbit I’ve seen so far on the acquisition.

What about the campaign where he cracks on all the old high school nerd friends? I liked that. Hope GS Corporate doesn’t poo on it!

97% voted for it… representing 73% of the shares. Who was the big dog who didn’t want to sell the company? Or are the rest corporate stocks? WTF?

Alltel, with 12 million customers in 35 states, agreed in May to a proposed $71.50-a-share buyout by Fort Worth, Texas-based TPG Capital, and New York-based GS Capital Partners, a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs. The purchase price is 22.6 percent higher than $58.31, the last closing share price before news of a possible buyout leaked in December.
