OK... so using your logic, Nextel would be signing on millions of
customers more than VZW because of Nextels coverage... hmm lets look at
the facts, caveman.

In the last year, Nextel has added just over 1.3 million new customers.

Ready for this one... VZW has added over 3 million!

Wow!  I like those apples a great deal.  In fact, it would seem as
though the apples VZW are offering are a whole lot sweeter than
Nextel's, since so many MORE people want VZW than Nextel.

Oh by the way, since you're such a fan of Nextel... they announced that
they would be decreasing their capex spending the same time VZW said
they were increasing theirs.

So, in caveman's terms, that means that VZW spends a whole lot more
money on their network than Nextel... and Nextel PLANS ON SPENDING LESS!
 

In addition, Nextel has no 3G migration path, their phone technology
ensures that they will have no economy of scale, and their CEO is
rumored to be an alcoholic... but I've only heard that from those that I
know that work for Nextel in VA.  But let's not get personal here...
lets just stick with the facts that by every single measure VZW pretty
much laps Nextel.
