One or two years down the road, when a Nextel acquisition won't be dilutive to earnings to WCOM, Bernie may not be able to afford the acquisition price of $100-$120!!! As a WCOM shareholder as well as a NXTL shareholder, I hope he make the deal NOW.

Arnie - I too am long both WCOM & NXTL, and bought WCOM when it was still LDDS. Bernie Ebbers didn't get to where he is now because he
"couldn't see the forest for the trees". I think he will make a move soon.

When Nextel soared after the ATI deal, we (our trading firm)dismissed it as speculation. Well, we've now confirmed through several sources (one of which gave us ATI weeks before it happened with the correct price too!)that the bidder is indeed WCOM and the price is $49-51 per share. We believe the deal is imminent and while we all know that deals get broken with last minute squabbling, the stock should fly on word of the bidding.
