[edit] History
Cleveland Unlimited purchased Northcoast PCS[2] in July 2004 from former owner Cablevision. The new owners, venture capital firms M/C Venture Partners and Columbia Capital[1] have since invested significantly into the company to improve its network and service. The original Northcoast name was kept in service until 2005, when the Company relaunched with the Revol brand, new plans and many new towers. Currently, Revol has some coverage in and around the cities of Indianapolis, Indiana, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Columbus,, Cincinnati, Ohio, Dayton, Toledo,Youngstown, Ohio, Detroit, Michigan, Louisville, Kentucky and Buffalo, New York. As Revol is not a MVNO, it actually owns and operates its own tower system, through purchases of part of the Cricket network and its own holdings gained from Northcoast PCS. Revol currently has about 180,000 customers.
