Sprint Nextel's IDEN woes
Marguerite Reardon Former senior reporter
Marguerite Reardon started as a CNET News reporter in 2004, covering cellphone services, broadband, citywide Wi-Fi, the Net neutrality debate and the consolidation of the phone companies.
Sprint Nextel recently reported that it lost some 300,000 subscribers in the fourth quarter of 2006. A lot of experts say this is because of the poor quality of the of the old Nextel network, which is based on IDEN. I am working on a story that looks into the problems of the old Nextel network. If any former Nextel subscribers want to share their experiences or tell me why they've switched carriers, please get in touch with me at maggie.reardon@cnet.com. Thanks!
