Well, well, well. Where have you been the past year and a half? Afraid to show your face? So now you're back at it. Here's what you said:

"The Nextel's business plan is largely based on an assumption that their subscribers will use both voice and SMR services. This is not happening."

You're wrong but that never stopped you before. Here's what Akerson said on this morning's conference call: 43% of air minutes per user were cellular vs. 40% the previous quarter. And the DC usage was 57% this qtr. vs. 60% in the 2nd qtr. Sounds to me like it's just a matter of time before the cellular reaches 50% of air time. Maybe you should listen to the conference call instead of spouting things you know nothing about.

"Having stuck with maintaining a nationwide infrastructure, Nextel can't survive on their digital SMR offering alone. A second-generation digital SMR (900MHz) will put them out of their misery."

And they're not. 43% cellular is evidence that users use both major parts of NXTL's service. Akerson said that NXTL has ongoing talks with the FCC regarding 900 mhz. I wonder what you'll say if NXTL gets permission to buy Geotek and its 900 mhz frequencies. Probably you'll just disappear again without saying anything.
If you think that MOT is going to design a system that will make NXTL's iDEN obsolete, I have only one thing to say:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You should consider becoming a comedian.
