Let's take a look at capacity comparisons:

1000/25*3/7 = 17 Nextel calls X 15 MHz = 255 capacity (top 50)
1000/25*3/7 = 17 Nextel calls X 20 MHz = 340 capacity w/utility 5MHz
1000/30*3/7 = 14 IS-136 calls X 25 MHz = 350 capacity
1000/200*8/4=10 PCS1900 calls X 30 MHz = 300 capacity

If the above numbers are correct, that means that NXTL has the POTENTIAL to have as much capacity as T and more than FON! So the only question is "Are the numbers correct, both in theory and math?"
Since Direct Connect is 6:1, does that increase NXTL's capacity beyond the above calculations? While none of this will move the price of the stock, it tells me that NXTL is more valuable than I previously thought.
