Sprint to buy Nextel????

http://news.com.com/Sprint+near+deal+to+buy+Nextel/2100-1037_3-5479444.html?tag=nefd.top

As a Nextel customer, I think this sounds good.  I'm tired of the problems I have with reception on my Nextel phone.  My business partner laughs at me over this................Why am I still a Nextel customer, well its a long story.  Nextel does have the really cool two-way walkie-talkie feature that is problematic for the other mobile providers.

I don't understand the merger. Spring's value proposition is "clear calls," not wireless coverage. In my own informal experience, Sprint drops more calls. But when you are connected they *sound really good*! :) Verizon is the king of coverage.

So Sprint, who has connectivity problems, and Nextel, who has an annoying proprietary walkie-talkie system, are going to combine. Sounds like 2 losers getting together to be a bigger loser. Kind of like when Pabst bought Stroh's in the beer market.
