		In 1999, Western Wireless began offering wireless local loop service in Senator Dorgan's hometown of Regent, a community of less than 300 people, which was one of the first competitive local telephone service offerings in rural America, resulting in the availability of new and innovative services to consumers for the first time.

		Western Wireless' ability to provide advanced telecommunications services on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation and other rural areas are dependent upon high-quality network facilities in rural areas, which, in turn, is largely dependent upon the availability of universal service support.

		Usually mergers occur in a friendly setting where executives from the respective companies participate in a due diligence process to ensure a successful combination of all parts.
		Corporate mergers may be aimed at reducing market competition, cutting costs (for example, laying off employees), reducing taxes, removing management, "empire building" by the acquiring managers, or other purposes which may not be consistent with public policy or public welfare.
