Michael, I don't think one can look at a build-out in percentage terms. (40 % still needs to be built) a lot has to do with topography and such. One needs a lot less towers in Florida, Chicago than Southern Cal. I would say most of the capital build cost is behind Nextel. Two reason's; the site development expenses used to be outsourced now they are done internally at a much lower cost. Two most of the expensive towers in LA and NYC have already been incurred. I used to work for NXTL in LA during the build out so I know this is fact. Still can not tell you how much better the quality of the audio is now compared to when I left 2 years ago. Its alot better. Regards,
