>>I'm not sure I follow you, could you explain further. Doesn't T have an internet plan for LD, thru TCI etc? Doesn't that put them going in the direction you suggest for nxtl? thanks lnk.>> lnkennedy: I will get back to your questions from yesterday later.... As for the above: - what's important is the DIRECTION of T's internet plan I see them following the same futile attempt to throw their branding blanket wherever they go. WCOM has already achieve great inroads moving away from typical branded marketing approaches. Nextel has already achieved great inroads doing the same - word of mouth drives 80% or more of ALL sales. A "Word of mouth" viral internet connection which grows WCOM's AND Nextel's is the optimal way to go for accelerated growth. It all depends on which "gear" you're driving in. T is still in 1st gear. Nextel is in 3rd with the potential to move fast to 4th or 5th. The accelerator is working fine in both cases. One has more fuel. Nextel is getting a much bigger throughput and power with its energy.
