It probably has to do with gaining coverage. I don't know about else where, but around the Twin Cities in Minneapolis. Alltel is primarily in rural areas just outside of the cities, like my wives home town just a hour and 30 minutes away from the cities. Everyone out there has Alltel and those are the towers we use when we are out there.

I know there were rumors that Verizon was shopping around to pick up Alltel for this very reason, to get even more coverage.
