CNet News reports that Alltel Wireless has announced that, starting 5 June, it will bring back one-year service contracts for all of Alltel’s new and renewing customers. Alltel says it will be the only US operator to offer the same handset pricing as you would get with a two-year contract, but with one-year agreements instead. However, this one-year contract option is only available to customers in the 91 market areas that Verizon is required to divest, some of which are being acquired by AT&T (pending approval).
