Couple more questions:

1. Where will PS get the money above and beyond what Nextel gives them in
order to purchase new equipment?  Especially in these days of budgetary
restraint?

2. What about agencies that just spent millions on a new system, where
will they get the money above what Nextel gives them?

3. Isn't Nextel in financial trouble?  I know the refarming would give
them 10 Billion but until then how do they keep going?

4. I'm aware of the XTS2500 and XTS5000 portables which will do 700-MHz -
what mobiles will do (or are planned to do) 700-MHz?
