Mike, It's no coincidence that Bell South paid 5 Billion just for the license (not even the towers) for Rio 5 billion in what currency? Joe

Mike, NO DIRECT CONNECT I think the Nationwide coverage in 800 MHz, is what's attractive about Nextel. I am not sure how much value the Direct Connect provides to people who are not in the market niches that Nextel dominates. I am not sure if it can ever become "cool". It's way too blue collar to ever become cool. Anyway, why would just about everyone have a voice mail, answering machine, e-mail? Because people don't want to be interupted in middle of doing what they are doing. Joe
