You are really naïve if you believe that mobile carriers cutting back on their advertising budgets will translate into lower rates or better coverage. Every business devotes a sum to pay for advertising unless they think they can get away with tacking posters to utility poles. And those who do that are near the skids anyway. There's a reason why when the service became T-Mobile after it was VoiceStream that they let Jamie Lee go in favour of CZJ. It drives your business if only because some guy looking at your advert will say "man she's a looker I think I'll check out T-Mobile." Much mobile advertising is what I would call "lame" with the Sprint trench coat guy or the nerdy "Can you hear me now?" Verizon nerd and cingular's "raising the bar" needs to be retired. Do you really think those adverts where someone puts off calling in an emergency because they don't want to waste their peak minutes is realistic?
