Nice To Be With Nextel.....

I haven't been all bullishly bent out of shape over the recent run-up.

My position outside my IRA is 50% of what it used to be. But I have a mirror of that in my IRA which I recently added in the low 30's when I scaled out of the non-IRA piece.

I am still dreaming of convergence within Nextel - viral use of SMR ID numbers (like sharing email addresses) across DAP networks in local and regional areas first - to be followed by nationwide later.

This IS Nextel's ace card to play. Just not sure if they'll play it.

So I'm off playing around with unified messaging technologies to mimick such an ace card play.

As an example, I found a Voice Over IP technology that you can use to call anywhere in the US - between hub cities that are growing (soon over 150-200 by June)- for FREE from a regular phone.

I use this today to bypass Nextel's 15 min long distance rate. Instead, I'm paying their 7.9 cent/min rate I've had for some time.

With this service I can also eliminate my Nextel voicemail for it will automatically rollover into voicemail. And, I get a code on my Nextel pager that tells me if I have a voicemail, email or faxmail waiting in my server-in-the-sky platform where this is all located.

The world is fast changing. Convergence allows me to grab, mix and match the best of breed technologies in ways that I would have never thought possible.

I eliminate voicemail on Nextel AND voicemail on my local business lines from Ameritech. I get all these expanded services AND I either pay 4.9-6.9 cents LD or am talking FREE with others who have the same system.

Come on Nextel. Get the Golden Goose out of the closet.

Announce when you are going to open up SMR frequencies to cross-network dispatching.

This stock would go absolutely bannanas if this happened.

Better to annouce this BEFORE the final WCOM deal than AFTER.
