>>There's trust out there just waiting to be mined. Wall Street is valuing Nextel as a dumb embattled digital wireless operator. It is really a network distribution play has more going for it than Yahoo, Amazon and the rest combined.>> >>>Can you elaborate? I don't see the connection.>>> Jozef: Let's cut to the chase. It's The Network Stupid......... Networks and network marketing IS the wave of the future. Forget about MLMs - they will always be around - but what I'm getting at is the way Wall Street woke up to the true implied future value of these Internet companies. Yahoo, Amazon and the rest of the pioneers are being bid up to reflect the "future value" of their network distribution model for goods and services. Their network model happens to be all web-based. Switch to Nextel. Take Nextel's "network" of users. Pull some wagons around it. Stick a fork in it. Within Nextel's user base are some of THE MOST compelling network marketing opportunities in the world right now. Sure the phones are for business, but let's start talking about networking the network of business to business users. 1) Nextel Business Network serivice specialists 2) Business Network and company directories that are more than just bulletin boards. 3) Value-added profiles, user IDs, service logs, request cues. Leave it up to the imagination. DC dispatch - IF they can get the capacity issues resolved - is going to go through the roof. DC in the hands of the "Tom's, Dicks, Julie's and Samantha's" of the world will spark a control/access revolution at the local neighborhood level. Nextel does not want this genie to get out of the box. They've already let it out with the i1000. Networks are where the vast majority of sales a distribution is heading. Company controlled marketing business models are lunacy in this day and age of the internet. Leverage the power of immediacy, time and money with good old fashioned world of mouth, one-on-one network marketing efforts. People want to work for themselves. They want the freedom and flexibility and the potential. I hope you see something more.....but I know you may be even more confused. Fred
