Rono: Nextel is not investor savy. They have other thoughts.
Unlike most other companies, Nextel doesn't seem to be pressured by the need to satisfy minority investors. I have read many articles about the pressures bestowed upon public corporations to achieve the goals set forth by analyists. Much of the company's financial planning is based upon investor perception, profits, estimates etc. Failure is the equal to the kiss of death by the shareholders.
On the other hand, Nextel seems to be a very independant company, and dosn't seem to put much energy into the BS part of carrying on business as a public corporation. You, the investors, are paying a short term price for this, however, in the long run I think that patience will prevail. The system will be dynamite and the company's acheivements will speak for itself through the price of the stock.
I just switched to Sprint PCS and after the first day of using my new phones I have to say the reception in Southern California sucks. These days you get what you pay for. Sprint is half the price of Airtouch and the quality is half the quality.
