All the European telecoms' want a piece of the lucrative US market... From Washington Post: Nextel has achieved positive operating cash flow, an important measure of a company's strength in the wireless industry, but the firm has not become profitable; it reported a loss of $1.8 billion for 1998. Nextel also has $7.7 billion in long-term debt. MCI WorldCom chief executive Bernard J. Ebbers has been aggressively working to streamline the company and to avoid actions that would reduce the company's long-term earnings.
