Ten mhz of that spectrum will be contiguous which will allow NXTL to have additional operating efficiencies than at present, thus adding to capacity. To make the spectrum contiguous, Nextel will have to relocate - at its own expense - existing SMR licensees that operate in the frequency band. T and FON have 25 mhz, NXTL currently has 15. Nextel's network is based on an outdated technology (iDen) that makes inefficient use of the available spectrum. They can't match T's and FON's marketing prowess. Their handsets are heavier and more expensive than those of their competitors'. Yada, yada, yada.
