Tower integration, new Sprint coverage

With the closing of the merger coming very soon, one would wonder how prepared Sprint is to integrate Sprint and Nextel's towers. In my area, where Nextel has many more towers than Sprint at this time, there has been many additional antennas added to Nextel towers during the spring and early summer months this year.

That may very well be Sprint adding their service to Nextel towers. Any news that this might be true? It sure would be great news.

Hopefully we hear an announcement on Sprint's updated coverage map on Friday, Aug. 12th, the anticipated close date for the merger. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/2 0050809/ap_on_bi_ge/sprint_nextel_2

Ha-ha. This is wrong. They will be co-locating towers. In addition, in 2007 they will start to migrate towers, spectrum, and customers over to the cdma network.
