Remember that just because they merge does not mean instant gratification.
Lisa and I have nextel, Nextel merged with sprint which has a larger sevice area. Nextel then came out with a " special " phone that allows you to use sprint towers if you get out of nextel range.I'm not a cell phone guru and know very little about the telecommunications industry but, if little Johnny down the street with his new computer can Hack his Iphone to work with some other carrier and then "the man " can render his phone useless by an update that happens automatically, you would think we could get the benefit without having to buy yet again, another phone. Man, that semed like a long way to go just to say when they merge you will probably have to buy a "special" reciever that is capable of recieving the dual channels. I'm fairly certain that if this is the case, It won't be free, and it won't be cheap in the beginning .But then again, maybe they will appreciate your years of loyal listening and send you one.
Apparently I'm in a mood today, not a bad one, just a lets see how someone's going to stick it to us mood. I'm sure I will be better by tommorrow when I start my 15hr workdays

. Man I can't wait for July 4.
