Item 8.01.               Other Events.

On October 4, 2007, the shareholders of Rural Cellular Corporation (the "Company") approved the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2007, by and among Cellco Partnership, a Delaware general partnership doing business as Verizon Wireless, AirTouch Cellular, a California corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Verizon Wireless, Rhino Merger Sub Corporation, a Minnesota corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AirTouch Cellular, and the Company and the transactions contemplated thereby. The related press release issued by the Company is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, on September 28, 2007, the Company and Verizon Wireless received a request for additional information from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") regarding the proposed merger. The information request, also known as a "second request," was issued under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act").

The effect of the second request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after the Company and Verizon Wireless have substantially complied with the request for additional information, unless the period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the DOJ. The Company continues to expect the transaction to close in the first half of 2008.
