What are you talking about? In almost every article I've read for the past week on wireless mergers, Nextel is mentioned as the only other national wireless company as a takeover target, and that MCI/Worldcom is the best fit. Do some reading.

Nextel was mentioned in the Dow Jones article
(Friday evening) two posts before yours. It clearly
stated that Nextel was the last remaining major
wirelss company (national footprint) besides Airtouch.
Suddenly, the light is shine on Nextel. There will
be only one winning bidder, but several losing bidders.
They will still have some shopping to do.

Waldy, adding to what David said, the principal problem is that until Friday we had no confirmation that WCOM and NXTL had been talking. A report in Friday's Washington Post changed that. Given that the Post is, in effect, NXTL's hometown paper, I give a lot of credence to that report. The stew is a-cookin'. Put on your best duds, grab a seat at the table and wait for the main course to be served.
