re: Carrier Consolidation Coming

<< Currently, there is a cap--45MHz-- the Federal Communications Commission is expected to lift the cap, opening the door for consolidation. <<

Good clip.

I believe the cap will be lifted. I'm not sure USA has an alternative.

Consolidation absolutely will follow as a result.

That will significantly change the paradigm (reducing to some degree the advantage of CDMA as (one of several way) to increase capacity as well as coverage.

I think Nextel is an aquisition target, and I think that is part of the reason for the decision on technology.
