Verizon Wireless Covers all of Tennessee

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Verizon Wireless announced that it spent over $78 million to enhance
voice and data services and coverage throughout Tennessee in the first
six months of 2008.

The company said it now covers all 95 counties and approximately 41,898
square miles across the state thanks to the investment of nearly $634.5
million in Tennessee since 2003.

The investment is part of Verizon Wireless' aggressive multi-billion
dollar network investment each year to stay ahead of the growing demand
in Tennessee for the company's superior voice and data services and to
help ensure the Tennessee network is ready when severe weather hits.

Major areas of improvement across Tennessee since January include:
