Jim, I don't remember the details about Nextel's current spectrum neither. I think it used to be MOT's paging network??? But I thought the C block was specifically reserved for small companies. In fact, didn't nextwave at one time went through hell when they were challenged about the underlying ownership? Ramsey

Jim - I thought Nextel wasn't using GSM/TDMA but is using their own proprietary technology developed in combination with Motorola. I think it is a time-division multiplexing method but not officially TDMA. Tom

Ramsey, Correction - the Gregg Powers post I referred to was about Omnipoint (or someone else), not Nextel. Sorry for the confusion and thread drift.
