I've been in RF Engineering since 1985. [pre cellular] I do understand, and haven't underestimated. Where I currently am I would give my right arm [I'm a southpaw] for 15 Meg. With cute reuse plans and capacity relief microcells you can get away with almost anything. Does iDen support overlay/underlay or layer cell structures or frequency hopping? That would allow for even more capacity gains. My point only is that AOL would/did a much easier time of it than Nextel will, and I would strongly suspect that they [NXTL] are running as hard as they can to keep up with what they have. Modems are a commodity item. iDen base station radios aren't. Yet. Tony
