<< Seybold on Nextel's choice of 1x for system upgrades >>

Cool. Explains how they got enough spectrum to do that. I missed that one.

Entirely new network ... also cool.

Re: Seybold on Nextel

Sounds like there will be no need for any overlay of iDEN or any need for multimode CDMA/iDEN handsets. Just installing a separate 1X system is simpler, and should have no significant trouble deploying on time. Very good news. Actually, quite clever. Could this be the model for GSM carriers as well? Hmmmm....
