Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) today announced that
it has signed an agreement to acquire certain assets of Bluegrass

Bluegrass Cellular provides wireless service to 210,000
customers in 34 counties in rural service areas 3, 4 and 5 in

“We are excited to acquire certain assets of Bluegrass Cellular
and expand our footprint in Kentucky,” said Ronan Dunne, Executive

forward to welcoming Bluegrass customers and employees into the
Verizon family and providing them with reliable wireless service
alongside a best-in-class customer experience.”
“We launched the first wireless company in central Kentucky 29
years ago,” said Ron Smith, President of Bluegrass Cellular. “We’ve
always known that our customers were the most important part of our
business, and we pride ourselves on playing an important role in
connecting our community. I’m confident that Verizon will continue
to be the same good neighbor that we’ve been and will provide
crucial and reliable wireless connectivity to our rural
communities.”

Customers will receive information regarding the acquisition and
the array of services that will be available from Verizon,
including wireless data services delivered on the nation’s most
awarded 4G high-speed wireless broadband network.
