Technology Stocks : NEXTEL -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Jimmyo, I'm not aware that digital phones, which are digitally encoded, have been illegally cloned successfully by hackers. I thought that if at any time in the future that became a problem, Nextel has the capability to encript the transmission signal. I know that the sign-on is encrypted. Analog, of course, is a totally different problem since everyone and his brother are cloning those signals. Are we interested in this new technology because we still have almost a one-half million analog customers? I thought that at some date in the future we would eliminate analog service and use the bandwidth for digital. What's your understanding?

Bernie

Jim:

Thanks for the honorable mention.

But I have a question for you. With a laptop would I be able to access the net through my analog cell phone? Providing I had the software and a communication port on the phone. Either manually dialing or using the connect feature of the software on the laptop. I'm trying to determine if there is a reasonable way of trading stock using a Lap Top and some or all cell phones when away from land lines.

Phil
