I was just searching Howard forums.. seems like Nextel users are mad about the Sprint merger

[geckojohn]

Is anyone else mad or happy?

I'm happy.

Means Nextel will have a wider and more thorough network.

Also means that eventually it will be a Sprint "two way" phone.

Both networks are going to be concurrently operated... I hope that they expand onto each other's towers, though... that just makes sense.

I'm very pleased by it for several reasons... largest reason to me right now is the fact that they added Fair & Flexible to the plans, so now my plan will cost a lot less.

Was mad at first. Now, apathetic.

As long as I get the good service I've been getting for the past year, I'll be pleased.

Yeah, Coca Cola realized that they can't compete with Pepsi much longer so they bought Nextel to try to branch out into another market.

I still think it's odd that they decided to buy out a company that uses a different technology.

Wouldn't US Cellular or Alltel make more sense to aquire?
