Al, you raise a very interesting issue with your client's smr licenses. The big bucks city slicker NXTL customers get ticked off when they can't use their phones while zooming across the desert and a thousand other remote places in the U.S. And that's why NXTL is buying those licenses. It's part of a well thought out plan, even if it doesn't make sense to your client. Developing a national footprint means you need to minimally cover the densely populated areas. Frankly, this deal sounds like the perfect win-win deal. Your client gets his customers relocated to another frequency (or whatever it's called) and NXTL gets needed coverage so the rattlesnakes can talk to each other. ("Honey, can you stop by the cactus on the way home and pick up a mouse?") Arnie
