Arnie >> Developing a national footprint means you need to minimally cover the densely populated areas.>> Nextel should start by offering at least 100% coverage on golf courses in all major metro areas. Why not outsource this project to some smaller outfit which will later be absorbed by Nextel. Golf courses are THE GREATEST marketing showcase for all of Nextel's range of features. If the phone "don't work" it can also be THE WORST marketing venue. Pull out those other phones and you've lost the chance to impress. These phones sell themselves, but Nextel needs to keep the accelerator pressed for new antenna cells, etc. There's this one spot on the Kennedy expressway near Diversy here in Chicago that ALWAYS knocks me off. I got a guy working for me upstairs for me on these phones - his REAL name is "Scottie" and the people really love it. I don't have to say it for the clients immediately think...."Beam me up Scottie..." Outside of Al, I'm not getting many takers on the Bulls tickets. Last nights game in overtime was fantastic. My client had originally planned on taking his son to the Sox game and did not tell his son until they turned off the expressway they were heading to see the Bulls. This 9 yr. old's eyes were like big saucers the entire game. He told his dad he wanted to see the game to into overtime and he got his wish. Seeing a Bulls game in person is one of those experiences you will never forget. I still get chills when they turn out the lights and the "AND NOW>>>>!" into begins. Arnie, let me know if you know of anyone inside Nextel looking into the golf gaps. Good luck.
