Nextel Going For Consumers
US carriers envy Nextel's high ARPU and strong position in the business wireless market. But Nextel seems to be setting its eyes squarely on consumers. For the upcoming holiday season, Nextel is offering special edition Motorola phones, one co-branded with swiss army knife company Victorinox and another exclusive to Bloogmindales. Add this announcement to their youth-oriented MVNO and you might get the sense they are looking to dump their construction worker image.
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
