>>I agree, Maurice, that the percentage of Americans that know what "Direct Connect" is is very small. That's unfortunate for Nextel, a company with rights to tons of spectrum. "Direct Connect" is a feature which allows Nextel users to instantly contact other Nextel users (without dialing), and without having to pay fees to Ma Bell. The reason Nextel can give its users such a huge "local calling area" is that they own all the towers.>> This is a huge roman candle just waiting for someone to light it....... Let's get through this quarter. The balance sheet should look better due to the belt tightening. Everywhere I look phones are flying off the shelves. I see no let up in interest. The pre-Halloween goblins seem to get us all distracted. Who knows, rumors of someone buying this puppy out may have some merit - especially at these prices. My guess is Craig will let this thing take flight.
