Why wouldn't Nextel be valued as highly as a digital cellular company when they offer both digital cellular and S.M R.? Even if they provided radio only, there are millions of people who can use radio for their businesses. If NXTL offers digital cellular plus Direct Connect, why should it be valued lower? MV BABER

<The bottome line is: Nextel is a SMR provider and ought not be valued <as or even compared to (digital) cellular ones. > < PTB> Thanks, PT, you've unintentionally brought out a great point about NXTL. It's an SMR provider with cellular. Yes, indeedy, that's why they're taking cellular biz away from the commodity guys. You're right - not only should NXTL not be valued as a digital cellular company, it should be valued higher than digital cellular companies. At last I've found something about which to agree with you and now you're making NXTL's case. Keep up the good work! Arnie

PTB: I have been reading your posts with I hope an open mind. Their are times when the DD (Digital Dualing) is impressive. On a broader look of what is taking place with NXTL. I respectfully suggest that the question at hand is not if NXTL customers are idiots? More important,why they choose to pay more when the so called competition in your mind is superior in pricing. This reminds me of many highly reguarded movies that received exceptional success at the box office with less exposer than the Big Block Busters of the Major Movie Networks. How? Word of mouth. An extremely powerful source of info,when coming from another happy business person with first hand experience. PHG
