It's no wonder Verizon Wireless is interested in an acquisition. The first three months of 2008 constitute Alltel's best-ever quarter, in which it added more than 1 million customers and earned $2.3 billion in revenue, 11% more than the same period last year, it says in the press release. TPG Capital and Goldman Sachs' GS Capital Partners have been steering the ship since purchasing Alltel for $27.5 billion in November. The merger also would broaden Verizon Wireless' network. Alltelserves customers in 34 states, including 57 primarily rural markets in which Verizon Wireless does not have a presence.
