As far as "most cellular phone owners" (your words), NXTL couldn't care less about the typical cell phone user. Since NXTL offers a premium service at a premium price, it's clearly targeted at heavy users. Most folks user cell phones for emergencies and "Honey, pick up a quart of milk and a loaf of bread on your way home from work" calls.

Who cares what they talk about as long as they pay the monthly minimum and use up off-peak bandwidth that otherwise goes to waste?

Either Nextel's management is shortsighted, or their network has some inherent capacity constraints. Either way, Nextel is in trouble.

Nextel's highway advertising in the San Diego and east to El Centro area is multiplying too. There are large billboards going east on 8 toward the desert. Most of them have a large stop sign with words on it "paying roaming charges".

Of course I cheer and wave every time I see one.
On to $20,000 a share. Oops I mean $10,000. Oops I mean...........
Happy investing everyone!
