Sorry to see Sprint Nextel go, but, with dropped calls as they are, its better to just get out of the way. The best part of Nextel was their Direct Connect. I loved that. That worked when cell service didn't.

Well, you really don't need to have any towers when your coverage is as bad as Sprint's. Maybe the towers can be used by a company that provides a signal to its customers.

Would someone please spare the world the wasted money and just pull the plug on this dead horse?
