AT&T thowing in the flag on PTT deployment
Now only if Verizon and Sprint would do the same.
but remember like i said before u want competition becuase if there isnt like i said before the doj would make a bigger inquiry.. so you need competition
Not like the LTR and M/A Comm that wish that their systems work as good as the Motorola.
this DOJ investigation is just requiring info its not a formal one yet.. thats why i said nextel wants to have att wireless, cingular, sprint pcs, verizon, alltel, and other carriers to be in the push to talk game so it wont look like nextel is holding a monopoly. but you can also argue that nextel had a patent on it for 10 years of course nextel will have more of a subs base then the other push to talk carriers or potential ones.
motorola seems to be messing up with nextel.. that I830 ...

iDEN is a Motorola product and not a NEXTEL product. Motorola developed it and gave the rights to NEXTEL to deploy it. NEXTEL tried to patent the acronym "PTT" and was not successful, at least to date.
If you knew anything about iDEN you would know that the PTT is based on a similar protocol as the Motorola Smartnet Type I trunking scheme that has been around when NEXTEL was originally called FleetCall (70's and 80's). The only big difference now is it has telephone interconnect in addition to PTT and is a cellularize...

now how am i wrong? on that stupid statment "your wrong" lol doesnt prove anyhting.. say something besides for 3 words if you can.. say something .. explain etc... just by you saying "sorry, your wrong" means nothing to me becuase you didnt explain myself unless maybe you cant, and thats understandable..
Nextel paid Motorola for use of the iDEN system, and had an agreement to be the primary national carrier using that technology.
Motorola also sold smaller iDEN systems to companies like SouthernLink. Zero cooperation between Nextel and these other companies, Motorola is the common thread.
Nextel never had a patent on iDEN, obviously Motorola did, still does.
Nextel had trademark protection on the "Direct Connect" phrase. Never trademarked "PTT" and now wishes they had, as their recent failed lawsuits show.
The concept of PTT is available to any carrier to develop, they just have to come up with a technology to do it.
Motorola did fight Nextel's proposal in the FCC consensus plan, I'm ...

If Moto. pisses off AT&T, Cingular, & Verizon by siding with NEXTEL then there is a good possibility that they will reduce the amount of phones that they purchase from them.
Another curious absence at the show was anything to do with iDEN - the standard used by Nextel. Motorola's iDEN group had zero presence, and no new iDEN models were announced. The timing seemed about right for Motorola's rumored "Falcon" line of iDEN phones, so this was a bit surprising. Since iDEN is a relatively unpopular standard as it is, and it has been a while since Motorola came out with any new models, I would think that Motorola would be anxious to remind everyone that iDEN is still a thriving standard. Apparently this is not the case.
It has been speculated that Nextel will eventually drop iDEN and switch to CDMA. If Nextel is planning to announce such a switch s...

Bad connection
Nextel needs a data network capable of delivering video, Internet access and e-mail at blazing speeds to keep pace with its rivals. A Motorola upgrade that was supposed to boost the iDEN network's capacity was withdrawn last fall after it garbled some calls. The Nextel spokes-woman says Motorola is fixing the glitches and plans to re-install the technology later this year.
On another front, Nextel is asking regulators at the Federal Communications Commission to consolidate its radio frequencies, which are now scattered across the radio spectrum, into a contiguous block. Doing so would free Nextel to dump iDEN, the only wireless technology designed to...
