PT: One last comment on capacity for you to mull over while you consider Nextel's fate. Think about what Lucent and others are doing to expand the capacity of all-digital networks. Paul Ericson (sp) one of their chief tehnology gurus recently said that thanks to recent advances in technology "today 10Mhz has as much capacity as 20Mhz had two years ago." Bottom line. With the spectrum sales as high as they were 2+ years ago, the other PCS competitors may be the ones with the "cheesey networks" - ah shucks, "cheese in their heads", ya hey, don't ya know. No seriously, the 1/2 rate vocoders coming out are able to extract more data and calls per digital millisecond than ever. Then there's the whole explosion of digital band switching technologies that have created more bandwidth from fiber and digital frequencies alike. You have not acknowledged these very important facts concerning these recent technology advances that favor Nextel. Again, you seem to miss some very important marks. The only thing you have going for your is a falling stock price - but that I will give the market credit for. When the stock turns you will simply disappear like the rest of them. But, good luck....
