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!

Who did they buy out to get this coverage?

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.
