PT, If I am reading your post correctly, you seem to be implying even sized cells across geography. The way I believe it works is you have smaller cells in high population areas to reuse the frequencies more often and larger cells in the unpopulated areas. Some square miles have no Nextel coverage. As you run out of capacity, you split cells and reuse the frequencies in smaller areas. There is a cost to do this but that's how both cellular and Nextel work. There may be physical limits to how small a cell can be but I don't know that anybody has bumped up against that yet.
Also, yes or no, are you OJ?

Arnie, while no carrier individually covers the entire country, analog cellular does as long as you pay the roaming costs. As for JPM, what is their price target for the end of 1997? I bet its wrong big time regardless of how conservative we may think their assumptions are. Bubba once posted 1997 price targets from analysts but I don't remember what they were.

Just my 2 cents.
