No, but maybe this will help. Verizon is Bell Atlantic + GTE, but GTE covers rural areas in a ton of different states. Used to, anyhow... Bell Atlantic covers the Eastern Seaboard, New England, WV and PA. Due to the GTE merger, however, Verizon has chunks of several large states, including a nice chunk of northern Ohio and several significant pieces of California, including a chunk of the metro Los Angeles area. SBC is SNET [Southern New England Telephone, Connecticut] + Ameritech [Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana] + Pacific Bell [California] + Nevada Bell [duh :)] + Southwestern Bell. Southwestern Bell looks like it covers Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas. (I figured this out by visiting <http://www.sbc.com/public_affairs/regulatory_documents/tariffs/1,5932,281,00.html?pid=-1> and checking out the list of states in which they've filed tarriffs, and eliminating the states that I knew are part of other SBC operating companies.) BellSouth covers the Southeast - AL, FL, GA, KY, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN (according to their web page http://bellsouthcorp.com/whoweare/corp.vtml). If I'm not mistaken, the rest of the continental US is covered by Qwest. Their web site cites WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, ND, SE, NE, MN, IA, UT, CO, AZ and NM as their coverage area. (*counting*) yup, that's 48 states, and I believe Verizon covers Hawaii (former GTE area), and I have absolutely no clue who covers Alaska. The other ILEC of any significant size would be Alltel, but they only cover a few major markets; most of their coverage is in outlying rural areas. (Your timing was good.
