"We need to have a plan for how we are going to manage spectrum long-term, and that includes a set of rules for how we promote innovation and bring out the next generation of applications rather than just transferring money to government," he added. Interesting observation, particularly at this juncture. It is unassailable that the pan european standard vaulted gsm to the forefront in wireless. However, a lack of standards here in the US seems now to be paying off in the roll out of a superior technology. My preference would be for minimal government interference and let the technology deal with roaming and spectrum issues, BWDIK. Pierre

Ruffian: The shoot itself in the foot company has come up with an ultimate absurdity. What does MOT need? Whatever it is, it is not new spectrum. New leadership sure, but if MOT is unable to compete in the real here and now, why should anyone think MOT could in any new playing field, i.e. new spectrum? The Q has demonstrated (and Nextel confirmed) current spectrum will carry data at the speeds needed. New sprectrum, maybe some day, not soon. This man needs to retire. Best. Chaz
