Reuters, Tuesday, January 05, 1999 at 11:36 "NEW YORK, Jan 5 (Reuters) - U.S. corporate bond dealers were bracing on Tuesday for a busy month of new issues, worried that the fresh supply could pressure spreads in the secondary market. ... In the high-yield sector, Nextel Partners (NASDAQ:NXTL) was among prospective new issuers with a reported $400 million issue in the works." Help me here. Is there a Nextel Partners deal yet? Are they building out the peripheral markets. Is there anything new in here?

Bpt.Ct. to Ft.Lauderdale Fla. 3 Nextel Billboards on 95, one in Bpt...Jax. Fla...W.Palm thought you'd like to know. Bernie what's this NOTELXX??did I mis something? Fred..yes the DoLittle Inn is in the works, although Hilton Head is now out of the running for first venture, it's between, Boynton, Deerfield, Hillsbough area and Nantucket! Lots of wife presure on Fla. location..... I'll be brief. New Years Eve I visited a friend on the Cocoa Beach Pier for a early cocktail, well who had a booth thier? Trans Florida Communications, with very large NEXTEL signs. So of course I had a chat with David Miranda. First I was exsplaining to my european guest the Nextel phone on how it works (we had 4 four different phones services the entire length of 95 available to us) as David the TFC rep aproached I asked about the N phone he said "THEY SUCK" WHAT I said!!!He tried to steer me to PRIMECO and AERIAL.... I then blasted him like General Doolittle ordered... WOW he changed his toon. Said it was a great phone his reasons were they were told Nextel is being bought out by MCI in FEB-March and he whould lose buisness!! so they were steering people into the other co's He then went on to tell me what great reception they had on the beach with no tower...He also told me they were signing up cruise lines, water cos. and a very large co that is national (name withheld by me) humongous account which I don't want to reveal as speculation. He bragged about the paging, and wanted a national D.C. (not with out paying for it sport!) I came away a bit disapointed in the young man, but I schooled him as best I could in 30 minutes, I also told him to read SI or Yahoo... Well if Nextel can sign up 400,000 adds with people like this working for them WOW.........ATT service was the worst of all 4! Happy New Year !! jimmyo.. firm believer it's WCOM/MCI in a PARTNERS deal in March!!
