Sprint Chief Executive William Esrey said today that Sprint PCS will sell its own walkie-talkie service by year-end. He didn't say who would provide the software or equipment for the service. I dont get it....either Nextel has patent protection over this walkie talkie feature or it doesnt. It makes no sense that Qualcomm would give exclusivity to Nextel if they could have built a system without them (which PCS seems to think they can do). The only thing Nextel has to trade is an upgrade to 1xrtt. This wont really have much of an impact on Qualcomm unless the upgrade starts right now. An additional 10 million subs being switched to CDMA '04 will be a drop in the bucket. Does anybody remember....did Esrey use QChat by name? I remember him calling the feature "Push to Talk"....not sure if QChat was mentioned. Slacker
