That's not the same thing. AC is a larger geographic area than LDC, but LDC
still includes no-charge roaming on other systems (at least in many
markets). In fact, LDC often includes (or at least used to) free roaming
areas that AC doesn't.

What Steve is saying is that Sprint doesn't have an equivalent to LDC and
VZW doesn't have an equivalent to F&C.
