P.T., your arguments indicate an absolute disregard for facts on your part. NXTL has adequate spectrum, is currently a niche player but only because they choose to be one until they're ready for prime time, and T or FON don't have a 2 way product. Why? Because there done ain't been none developed by phone manufacturers. Ericksen is rumored to have a two way product ready by the end of the year. If that's true, they'll have to find a telco buyer, sell the infrastructure, manufacture the stuff, install it, etc., etc. That's 2 years minimum before T or FON can sell what NXTL is currently selling at the rate of 1.5 million units per year. The $64 question is whether T or FON will buy 2 way when it becomes available. Remember, NXTL is ahead of both of them in building out their national digital network. Arnie P.S. Who has a national footprint in 900MHz? Answer: No one. Maybe you might want to buy some Geotek stock. They've got some 900MHz bandwidth. Cheap stock too if you like penny stocks. Southern Co. has iDEN in the Atlanta area. So what?
