It's a cheap and fast cross border communication that is unmatched by any other offering.  Unfortunately there's not a lot of users that need this type of communication.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jorge]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 9th 2008 1:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Beep beep -- Sprint's looking to offload iDEN network?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/09/beep-beep-sprints-looking-to-offload-iden-network/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/09/beep-beep-sprints-looking-to-offload-iden-network/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm with you on that.

Now that there are Sprint phones with PTT abilities, there is little advantage to sticking with IDEN. Selling off IDEN would also make alot of Sprint's support issues much easier. Years after the merger there are still compatibility issues that result in having two completely different  networks. Also very few, if any, phones on the horizon even mention Nextel]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chaoticwhizz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 9th 2008 2:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Beep beep -- Sprint's looking to offload iDEN network?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/09/beep-beep-sprints-looking-to-offload-iden-network/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/09/beep-beep-sprints-looking-to-offload-iden-network/</guid><description><![CDATA[Even though IDEN is seeing a decline in use by the personal user, don't count it out, many businesses and government agencies rely upon it. Sprint may drop Nextel but don't forget there are other regional carriers of IDEN (Airpeak, Airtell, ect...). IDEN will survive through these carriers and become a primarily commercial and government platform.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[William Becker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 9th 2008 4:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Beep beep -- Sprint's looking to offload iDEN network?]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/09/beep-beep-sprints-looking-to-offload-iden-network/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/09/beep-beep-sprints-looking-to-offload-iden-network/</guid><description><![CDATA[The federal government should buy Nextel. <br>BAM! <br>Instant nationwide first-responder network. No it's not the best technology but it sure beats whats in place now- nothing. And so many departments already use it.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe Mama]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 9th 2008 9:32PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
