Small problem: Nextel iDEN is 2G. Their fastest tech is 2.5G. They're also spectrum-limit and can't compete on voice service alone when you've got providers offering nationwide unlimited for $40.
That said, their Direct Connect service is awesome. Then again, so is PTT over CDMA with Sprint. The integration has been far from perfect, but at this point Nextel probably couldn't stand on its own if it were spun off.
