But Nextel cant stay on 2G technology forever.
Correct. Nextel will become the 21st century equivelent of a pager (20th century). 7 mhz of spectrum is a joke, unless Nextel wants to have psychotic tower density.

Sprint should just silently convert Nextel into a Xohm brand, or silently switch the phones to CDMA 800/1900/SMR (iden freq). The CDMA standards org already made provisions/band plan for CDMA in SMR (although CDMA is now a dead standard, nobody to fund further development since all the big boys, and therefore small boys (for roaming) went to LTE (GSM)).

Sprint already has converted some Boost users to CDMA as part of their Boost Unlimited program. Since Qchat came out, killing IDEN is full feasible now. I havn't heard any criticism of Qchat yet. If there is any tell me.

Netxtel has a niche. If they focus on that, as well as getting some of their previous industrial customers back, they might just find a foundation from which they can build. Sprint...what a mess!

But Nextel cant stay on 2G technology forever. Its needs to move on. All wireless providers have converted and delt with incompatibilities. ATT and Verizon have both ran dual networks.
