FCC Gives Nextel Spectrum Shuffle
Approval, But Does Nextel Approve?

FCC Gives Nextel Spectrum Shuffle
Approval, But Does Nextel Approve? 07/08/2004 05:39 PM
Reuters reports that the FCC commissioners voted 5-0 in favor of what sounded like a Nextel plan to reorganize an ugly band: Nextel owns tiny slices of a very ugly chopped up range in the 700 and 800 MHz, and their proposal was to reorganize it so that the public-safety purposes to which other slices are put can be consolidated and provided with more reliability. For their part, Nextel would receive a contiguous range in the 1.9 GHz band, and be less likely to cause interference in public-safety bands--which many blame not on Nextel but on the equipment used for fire, police, and emergencies--and have an easier time in providing cellular coverage at those higher frequencies. The FCC values the deal at $4.8 billion, but will give Nextel credit for $1.6 billion in returning the lower-band frequencies. Nextel has to put up a line of credit for $2.5 billion to cover relocation costs, which are allowed to exceed that amount. If Nextel's final bill is less than $3.2 billion, they have to pay the government the difference. Nextel's response was muted; they had wanted to pay $1.36 billion. Other cellular operators were complaining that the deal gave Nextel too much; it looks like the FCC chose this approach to make it worthwhile to public safety without letting Nextel off the hook....

Microsoft and New Mexico Plaintiffs
Settle New Mexico Class Action Lawsuit 08/05/2004 03:28 AM
The law firms of Hinkle, Hensley, Shanor, & Martin, L.L.P., Lerach, Coughlin, Stoia, & Robbins, L.L.P., and Freedman, Boyd, Daniels, & Hollander, L.L.P. counsel for a proposed class of New Mexico consumers, and Microsoft Corp. jointly announced today that a settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging that Microsoft Corp. violated New Mexico’s antitrust and unfair competition laws. The settlement, which received preliminary approval on July 29, 2004 from the First Judicial District Court for the State of New Mexico, will make vouchers available to class members that may be used to buy any manufacturer's desktop, laptop and tablet computers; any software available for sale to the general public and used with those computer products; and specified peripheral devices for use with computers. The total amount of vouchers issued will depend on the number of class members who claim vouchers, and the maximum value of the vouchers that may be issued to class members will be $31.5 million.

Despite a trial and now commercial service of a broadband wireless offering in North Carolina, Nextel is reportedly still examining other technologies: Mobile Pipeline reports unnamed sources who say that Nextel is evaluating gear from IPWireless, though not in any public trials. While it's interesting to note a vendor by name, it's not big news that Nextel is looking at other equipment in addition to Flarion. The company has been fairly open about its interest in a variety of different technologies, ranging from CDMA-based networks to proprietary gear from Flarion. I've talked to a few analysts who say that Nextel is very seriously considering WiMax. IPWireless was once often mentioned by the 802.20 crowd as an active follower but recently seems to have jumped ship to the WiMax world....

eBay: Nextel i930

eBay: Nextel i930 07/16/2004 08:46 AM

Someone is pre-selling a Motorola i930 Windows Smartphone -- the as-yet unreleased clamshell for Nextel -- on eBay, but there's a catch. The auction isn't for a leaked prototype or anything like that, but instead just the promise of being the first to get one when they hit the street in the fourth quarter of this year. Unfortunately, the auction is just parroting the standard ad copy we've seen floating around for the i930, and doesn't clarify if the i930 is still running the old and rusty Windows Smartphone 2002. (Thanks, Todd!)

Sprint, Nextel to Merge

Sprint, Nextel to Merge 12/19/2004 03:18 PM
Sprint and Nextel announced their $40 billion merger of equals: Sprint's CDMA technology has been a block to offer push-to-talk (PTT) services that Nextel has made great profits on. Nextel has no migration plan for next-generation data services, although they've been testing approaches that aren't integrated with their iDEN voice technology. Sprint has already committed to spending billions on 3G high-speed voice and data systems. In seemingly unrelated news a few days ago, Cingular dropped its challenge to the FCC proposal that would allow Nextel to reorganize its scattered chunks of frequency, giving them new contiguous spectrum in exchange for paying for the cost of moving the public-safety incumbents to Nextel-vacated frequencies. It's a multi-billion-dollar deal that the FCC offered, and Verizon Wireless and Cingular Wireless now no longer oppose it, and one would expect Sprint and Nextel to accept the deal, although Nextel wants to pay substantially less. The new Sprint Nextel is at a rough parity with the subscriber base of Cingular-post-AT&T Wireless acquisition and Verizon Wireless (all on their lonesome). Sprint Nextel will have 35 million subscribers, Cingular 47 million, and Verizon Wireless 42 million. T-Mobile becomes a distant fourth (about 16 million subscribers) with no data upgrade plan in sight. This didn't elude the Wall Street Journal, which filed this report in which T-Mobile notes that worldwide they have about 70 million cell phone users which allows them to compete on scale for handsets and network components....

Mike Masnick breaks the news that Nextel is pulling the plug (or lack of plug) on Flarion trial: Mike's eagle eye apparently spotted a blogger noting his Flarion service was being turned off at the end of June. Nextel was trying Flarion's high-speed wireless broadband technology as an option for data service. Nextel's iDEN voice technology doesn't have a data path like GSM and CDMA. Masnick puts the blame on the trial ending on the Sprint/Nextel merger. Sprint has its dollars behind EVDO, the same technology being rolled out quite successfully by Verizon Wireless right now....
