The Rebel Carrier
While the other big US wireless carriers are fixed on launching 3G over the next few years, Nextel is bucking the trend and focused on growing it existing business with moderate increases in data speeds. While they have some serious debt and their unique "push to talk" technology make them an unlikely consolidation target, they have some of the best subscriber growth, APRU and churn rates of any US carrier. They must be doing something right.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
