| Actually the problems at Sprint with their horrific management of the Nextel iDEN system are part of the problems at Motorola. iDEN was a huge profit area for Motorola, and helped subsidize other areas of the company. With Sprint driving off customers faster than rats jumping off a sinking ship, it has really made a bad situation far worse at the big /\/\. What has been interesting is Sprint's new CEO, Dan Hesse, has been talking up iDEN quite a bit. They put a bunch of the older handsets back for sale, slashed the crap out of the iDEN phone prices, etc etc. In wireless, however, coverage and voice quality are king. Sprint has a long way to go on that.
Anyway, there's still lots of money to be made in iDEN, Nextel International (NII Holdings) is growing like gangbusters in South America. Given proper network management, new handsets, and good customer service, iDEN in the US will reverse trend too. Sprint hasn't delivered on any of that yet, though.
