<<AT&T has these attributes NOW.>> Nextlink has local broadband wireless licenses (28 Ghz) covering 136M POPs. AT&T has considerably less. This combination of fiber and wireless will provide Nextlink with the most economical means to bypass the RBOC's. <<Also it takes tremendous ability to play in the data market. Who has these skills, Nextlink or Nextel?>> Since Nextel is coming out with a data product this summer, and Nextlink will be offering data by the end of the year, it appears they both do. Granted it's going to be a couple of years until their initiatives are more developed, but so far both Nextel and Nextlink have executed brilliantly. Ron
