Default Cricket finally makes it to Savannah

Cricket - Savannah and Hilton Head - The real unlimited

This has to be one of the most extensive Cricket coverage areas for a small market. I guess this is what happens when you buy out someone instead of building it yourself!

Larry,

Cricket bought out Hargray Wireless in the Savannah Area - if I'm not mistaken. They had a decent network, it is very geographically extensive. This was a good move for Cricket. Now they just need to merge with Metro PCS - lol!

Hargray ws purchased by private equity last year, and sold off wireless division this year. (sound familiar) Their wireless division had never really made a profit since the late 90's when they launched, it's going to interesting to see how this plays out as it is in my local market, I know lot's of people that worked for Hargray at one time or another.... including me.
