I think that there should be an "Other" category, as market share is only
being considered as including that top four carriers. In Minnesota, for
instance, QWest is a player with some market share (and CDMA based if you care
to know this). Spread about across the national market, there should be an
other category which lumps in all "non-big 4" wireless customers. I susect
that it is a couple of percent or more.

It is a virtual carrier - reselling Sprint.

Qwest is a Sprint reseller.

I wasn't talking about QWest in particular. I mean to combine all other
subscribers in the country [i.e. QWest, Midwest, Dobson, Alltel, US Cellular,
etc] as the "Other" category.

No. I did some asking around recently and apparently they own their own
infrastructure still but there is an agreement to use Sprint for National
coverage for bundling purposes. Also, they did sell some hardware off in
Montana if I recall, some of which Sprint picked up. I know that some of the
towers west of Minneapolis announce themselves as QWest still. I could be
sketchy on the details, but that is my understanding. Please correct me if I
am wrong.

| They, (Qwest) won licenses in a few markets - Seattle MSA being one of them.
The fired up a system and it was on the air and was being actively sold.
It isn't anymore. Not for awhile now.
At least here, they no longer operate the infrastructure. If I remember, it was
sold off to either VZW or Sprint.
They totally resell Sprint here - I thought it was all over, maybe not...
