Robert, In sofar as this is a matter in bankruptcy court, will NXTL even be allowed to "bid"? I thought the matter was between the court and the company and the FCC. I hope not, but four months ago I thought it impossible that the FCC and Nextel would even speak to each other, much less climb into bed like they have. Strange things are afoot. You are right though . . . NEXTEL has zero chance of getting anything, but they can make it difficult for our group through basic skullduggery.
