Arnie - Clearnet and Nextel comparison for fourth quarter.

I have the Missourri attittude, too, regarding Nextel's fourth quarter. We've heard fantastic predictions, which may be biased via regional or select information, for the fourth quarter. We've heard the same comments quarters-on-end, which haven't played out as predicted.

I'm a little confused regarding your logic regarding Clearnet's rollout (i1000, I assume). Nextel's roll-out began in earnest in the fourth quarter, early on. If Clearnet began their roll-out LATER than Nextel, the affect on Nextel adds would be even greater, since they had the full quarter. What did I miss in your statement?

By the way, CLNTF is one of the few stocks swimming upstream today.

Arnie, I don't fully understand your comment, can you explain again in simpler terms? "rollout behind NXTL's may account for 4th Q release"??

BTW, I did not mean to infer blowout 4Q adds for NXTL, only that until now, I was pretty much convinced that we would underperform or just meet expectations. I'll settle for a teeny bit higher than expected.
