Sprint Nextel Corporation

The merger between Sprint and Nextel will create a new company called Sprint Nextel Corporation. It appears that for now Nextel will be a separate labeled product from the company. This is mainly because the two systems are not compatible. Nextel will continue to use its popular push to talk function over its IDen network. The two systems should merge down the road a bit. (If not what was the point of the merger?) For you racing fans, the Nextel name will still be used for the Nextel Nascar series at least through 2006. What a relief!
