Mike:
THANKS for that link!
I live in a rugged area where the cell service is spotty for most cell providers. I am probably one of the few Nextel subscribers who actually went with Nextel primarily for their cell coverage which is superior in my area. There are fewer dead spots & dropped calls with Nextel.
OTOH, I have noticed that Sprint is making a major push to get Nextel people over onto their system. They are even making hybrid phones available that retain the Nextel Push-to-Talk system while using the Sprint cells. Seemed like a curious thing to do with the new technology in the pipeline, but the article that you sent explains Sprint’s dilemma. It makes more sense!
Thanks again!
