What promise would that be?

Yeah but it doesn't include Sprint users having access to Qwest towers
in those particular states yet. Hopefully soon.

Well that nails it down. "Hopefully soon".

Anyone got the press release about this from last fall?

If there was one, I am sure you would have posted it already, with your
usual negative spin.

Here is a link to the Qwest Wireless Press release:

http://money.excite.com/jsp/nw/nwdt_...&date=20040301

The applicable line here is that MT, ND, SD & WY Qwest customers will
continue to use the Qwest network until "later this year." To re-state, all
Qwest customers are to be be migrated over to the Sprint network as of
3/1/2004, except those in the above states, who, presumably will be shifted
to Sprint when Sprint either builds their own, or, more likely, takes over
Qwest's towers in these states.

Wyoming has very good cellular coverage from the three Cellular carriers,
two of which are CDMA. All 3 are in Sprint's PRL, and there are 5 sites in
Yellowstone Park. I usually have good coverage between cities, such as
they are. And Sprint covers Jackson (Hole), WY.

YES, What I read in that March 1 Story was:


" Current wireless customers in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and
Wyoming will remain on existing Qwest wireless plans until later this
year."

Later this year could be December 31, or might slip more than that; and
if the Quest side is not changing, then the SprintPCS side isn't either?
