Re y2k: Kevin, when you consider when they started building iDEN, I doubt that they have much of a problem. I mean, we're not talking Ma Bell or the Rebocs with their antiquated systems. I don't see any competitive advantage until and unless after 12/31/99 other wireless telcos crash. Even then any advantage would be short lived imho. Arnie

Kevin, that is a good question about Y2K. At my company all the PCs are being checked and some newer ones are being replaced for Y2K reasons. The problem that all companies have is that they are so interconnected to other companies, suppliers, vendors, etc. The bad link in the chain affects everything else. Not only does a company have to fix itself but also must ensure that all others it touches also fix themselves. There are a lot of words about this subject in newer SEC documents being filed by many companies. I should look into what Nextel has filed on this subject.
