"The Spectrum & Where It's At
700 MHz
Currently Nextel Communications has 4 MHz of near nationwide spectrum. Under the FCC's 800 MHz decision, Nextel* would turn this back in to the commission for use by public safety.

800 MHz
Nextel has 18.5 MHz. Under the FCC's decision, Nextel would give public safety 4.5 MHz of spectrum, leaving Nextel with 14 MHz of spectrum and public safety with 14.5 (it had 10 MHz).

Nextel currently holds a running average of 4 MHz of spectrum at 900 MHz. Although the Consensus Plan had Nextel contributing this to public safety, the FCC's decision did not include this spectrum; hence, it is to remain Nextel's.

i wanted to add...

nextel's 14mhz of 800 mhz is contigious. (can be turned into cdma).... nextel's 10mhz of 1.9ghz is also contigious.( can be turned into cdma)

sprint's spectrum i belive is contigious.

2.5ghz mmds spectrum; they own 85 percent of the top 100 markets as well as sort of a nationwide footprint becuase of the deals nextel made and as well as the fcc rule that gave institutional organzations (such as educational ones) to lease their mmds spectrum.

so thats plenty of spectrum. plus 45k towers nationwide . half of nextel's towers will be infact on the cdma network in 2007 time frame.

plenty enough to compete in the market place.

Odd. Nobody responded to this. Why?

Oh I don't know. Probably because it has absolutely nothing to do with Verizon Wireless, and you posted it in a Verizon Wireless forum. You think that's why? Hmmmm. No nevermind. That can't be it.

no. not tense. just ask yourself why you were banned from howardforums.com. then ask yourself why several people here are asking you to take a long walk off a short bridge. AND THEN, ask yourself who the common denominator is between the two siutations. *ding ding*

pro-nextel diahrea + verizon forum = nextel 18

in a previous thread from the Nextel forums, you said, and i'll quote it,

nextel18 said:"hey kangaroo, howardforums banned me for life. lol becuase i knew a lot of information and asked questions.

it is quite sad, but i wont lose sleep over it, becuase its not really a big deal.

to this day, sometimes i look at the nextel area and some/most of the information that posters say there are wrong.

that is why i wanted to post the correct things, but they banned me for that i guess. lol

oh well.

Well, sure...NOW you're not. But at one point you were banned from both websites. So, what craziness do you go by at each site now?

i wasnt banned from both sites. and why do you keep bringing that up? is that the only thing you can say? try thinking of other things to say.. such as topics, analysis, maybe something not about me. i mean that is if you can.

I just want to give everybody a good idea of who they're dealing with. A guy that was so bothersome and such a pain in the ass that two major websites devoted to the industry finally said "Geeze, man...this guy's gotta go".
