Will Obama Approve the $2 Billion Emergency Wireless Network Plan?

Here's an interesting wireless network story involving President-elect Barack Obama and the proposed $2 billion emergency wireless network.

According to a Reuters article, Sprint sent a request to President-elect Barack Obama and his incoming administration involving funds for a nationwide $2 billion emergency wireless network. The plan spans five years and aims to provide immediate relief in times of emergencies.

Sprint seems to be the best wireless network operator to propose the $2 billion emergency wireless network because the company is already a supplier of wireless network technology, service and handsets in use by many of the US emergency services and agencies .

Sprint's proposal for a nationwide $2 billion emergency wireless network involved more 100 satellite-based light trucks that would be able to respond to any emergencies. This $2 billion emergency wireless network also mentioned more then 100,000 or more mobile handsets and equipment at up to 40 pre-selected sites around the nation.

According to Sprint's proposal for a nationwide $2 billion emergency wireless network that was sent to President-elect Barack Obama and his incoming administration, the 40 pre-selected sites will quickly send the necessary gear to disaster sites anywhere in the continental U.S.

According to Sprint, their iDEN wireless network is ideal for the $2 billion emergency wireless network (of course). The company is hoping that Obama will approve this $2 billion emergency wireless network proposal and attach it to the economic stimulus plan currently moving through congress.

It will be interesting to see if President-elect Barack Obama will approve this $2 billion emergency wireless network proposal. This $2 billion emergency wireless network will be a valuable tool in the wake of emergencies and disasters like Katrina and 911. However, this plan might take a back seat to the current US economic crisis .

Verizon Wireless: the Nation's Largest Wireless Network

Here's a wireless network update. Verizon Wireless proudly announced that it has taken the title of the largest US wireless network by completing its merge with Alltel. I have blogged about this topic a few times and it seems that the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merger is about to be completed.

Prior to the completion of the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merger, AT&T held the title as the largest US wireless network. Verizon wireless was considered as the second largest US wireless network until it completed its union with Alltel. Now, Verizon Wireless can proudly claim that it now owns the top spot as the largest US wireless network.

The completion of the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merger means that Verizon has become the largest wireless network with a coverage of 290 million people and serves more than 83.7 million total customers. On the other hand, AT&T with 74.9 million wireless customers, becomes the second largest US wireless network.

The wireless network scene first heard about the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merger for $5.9 billion in equity on June, 2008. In order to complete the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merger, the current largest US wireless network took over about $22.2 billion in Alltel's debt. These requirements were ordered by both the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

This means that Alltel customers in areas served by both Alltel and Verizon will not be included in the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merger. The Alltel customers affected by the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merger will be informed that their service will change.

Some experts feel that it will take some time before the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merge will become fully integrated although both companies use CDMA cellular technology in their wireless networks. It make take time to merge the network operations and billing systems of the largest US wireless network.

Now, how will AT&T respond to the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merger. I think that they will find ways to regain their former position as the the largest US network. Competition among US carriers is intense so there is no doubt that the rivals of the current largest US network will try to take over the divested customers.

That's is for this post on the Verizon Wireless-Alltel merger forming the largest US wireless network. Tune in to this blog for more news and updates on major US wireless carriers.
