Cincinnati Bell selling wireless division to VZW

Odd, still.. Wasn't expecting this news. I imagine I'd be happy if I was on cincy bell

Seems like all of the smaller carriers are being bought out. At least Cricket and Metro are being kept alive as the prepaid divisions of AT&T and T-Mobile. If I'm reading that article correctly CBW is going away altogether with their customers being forced to Verizon or another carrier. No reason for their customers to be happy, really. Nothing except the outrageous prices were keeping them from going to Verizon if they wanted to anyway lol.

Once the agreement is approved and closed, we will waive all applicable termination fees, provide handset unlock codes and assist you with the transition of your wireless service to Verizon Wireless or other carrier of your choice. Link.

At least their customers will have the ability to take their unlocked phones to AT&T, T-Mobile, and the GSM prepaid networks if they want to keep their phone.
