<< We had 3 people with established credentials stating that non CDMA carriers are analysing the business case for 1X HDR >> ... and courtesy of First Union Securities we now have a carrier (Nextel) being quoted publicly: MIGRATION PATH TO 3G - One of the biggest questions regarding Nextel is its migration path to 3G. Management indicated it is still in the process of deciding which migration path to chose for a 3G solution. Tim Donahue, Nextel’s CEO, said Nextel has abandoned the EDGE solution completely. The company is considering a 1XRTT solution or another broadband solution. If the company were to deploy 1XRTT it would require at least 10 MHz of contiguous spectrum. The company currently owns 10 MHz of contiguous spectrum in the upper 200 channel range (861 MHz - 866 MHz). While Nextel owns this spectrum, other companies are currently occupying some channels. Management indicated approximately 80% of the "clearing" of this spectrum has occurred and expects to be completed in the first half of 2001. above courtesy of Ben Garrett: Message 14799298 - Eric -
