No doubt T-Mobile is extremely weak in Omaha, and Verizon and Sprint are the strongest carriers, but AT&T has quietly built a fairly decent network in Omaha over the past few years--I wouldn't at all say it is "not that much better" than T-Mobile. AT&T is hugely better than T-Mobile in Omaha (T-Mobile is only usable in about 25% of the city). AT&T has really closed the gap quite a bit from a few years ago--they're actually a viable choice now, IMO. And if AT&T had a cellular license and Verizon didn't hold both sides, I'd venture to say they'd actually be beyond competitive with any carrier--in town. Rural is an entirely different story, and CDMA has a massive, massive lead.
