Subscribers of Unicel's Vermont network have largely benefited from AT&T's acquisition of the network. Since the launching of Apple's iPhone, Vermonters were expecting to purchase the gadget. The excitement was sustained until AT&T acquired Unicel and started introducing products for the Green Mountain State.
Since the last week of 2008, Vermonters are able to use devices such as iPhone and the Blackberry Bold. This gives Unicel customers an added advantage when AT&T waived its activation fee for Unicel users switching to America's second largest provider of wireless service.
Vermont's cellular subscribers undoubtedly increased with AT&T's arrival. Unicel customers began switching to AT&T calling plan by mid-January. When it announced that it would heavily invest in Vermont's Unicel, AT&T opened a promising future for the cellular communications industry in Vermont.
AT&T is also planning more cellular sites by the end of 2009. Such is a lucrative project for the company. It had also promised to bring high-speed mobile broadband to Vermont. This can likely be achieved with AT&T multiplying the existing Unicel workforce.
Verizon was supposed to acquire Unicel but regulators denied the company saying that Verizon would leave Vermont with only one dominant cell phone provider if it buys Unicel.
