Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / October 2003Nextel's getting sued
"http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/135116100_verizons uit28.html" Nextel accused of stealing By Tom Giles Bloomberg News SAN FRANCISCO - Verizon Wireless accused Nextel Communications of stealing unreleased models of its new walkie-talkie telephones and making hundreds of calls to test Verizon Wireless' network. The claims, made in a lawsuit filed yesterday in federal court in Alexandria, Va., show Nextel "crossed the line of healthy competition," said Jim Gerace, spokesman for Verizon Wireless, the largest U.S. mobile-phone company. Nextel obtained two of Verizon's handsets on June 10 and placed "hundreds" of test calls on Verizon's network over the next few days, the suit says. Many of the calls passed through Verizon's computer switch in Chantilly, Va., Verizon said. That's the same network-computer switch that handles calls for Reston, Va., where Nextel is based. The moves gave Nextel "valuable, confidential and proprietary business information," Verizon said. Nextel has and may continue to use that information "to compete unfairly." Verizon Wireless is preparing to release a phone that doubles as a walkie-talkie in what will be the first challenge to Nextel, the only seller of push-to-talk phones for the past decade.  SignatureGod Bless Ryan and Ross my question is how did verizon let these phones go, the article says sued but as you read it says they obtained them, so which is it verizon. i don't feel bad for verizon really.

Dude... check your facts first. Wasn't it just a few months, maybe a year ago, that Nextel filed for Chapter 11? for their international division? I believe Verizon Wireless is swimming in cash right now. 70 billion? riiiiight... trying to hear out of your bad reception walkie talkie is getting to your brain > ill tell you how verizon let them get loose.... some junkie in their tech > department was desperate for cash .... and sold the prototype on the street [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > > seller > > > of push-to-talk phones for the past decade. You might want to check facts.....VZW was the ONLY cellular provider last year who actually turned a profit. And if i am not mistaken was it not Nextel who filed chapter 11 for their international division?

Pretty slick Huh? Also Nextel International has "No Recourse" to Nextel. In other words nextel can reap the profits. But if Nextel International goes bankrupt or gets sued nextel is protected. Real Slick.....But whet do you expect from the "How Business gets Done Company?" > And if i am not mistaken was it > not Nextel who filed chapter 11 for their international division?

Subscribe to WFHSG: http://www.groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/WFHSG If the phones were truly "Stolen" how can VZW prove who made the calls? Doesn't verizon block stolen phones? Sounds to me if this really happened then VZW must have someone on the inside helping the Nextel guys out. VZW should investigate that before they start the lawyers in action. I somehow doubt the head of testing at Nextel went out and broke into the Verizon Corp. office and made off in the night with the phones. I'm sure there is far more to the story than we are being told=) SignatureDan W.

VERIZON SUCKS, GET A NEXTEL !!! Motorola owns nextel, I herd something about 26% of moto's stock is nextel. As far as I know the v60 is the phone that will have PTT on it for verizon. Motorola can tell nextel anything, hey maybe motorola wipped up a couple v60's for nextel to try out. LOL Is verizon gona try to sue big brother if its true??? They'll probley will never have PTT if they do. If they do sure nextel in a way they are sueing motorola was well aren't they??? Even if their PTT is a sucess NEXTEL will always be #1. I highly doubt their PTT will work in an analog roaming area. They'll have to have digital coverage where ever they use that feature. From my understanding nextel has more digital coverage than any other provider. Once again NEXTEL is #1. > i got another one for you... why in gods name would nextel need to spy on > verizon's ptt technology when nextel has MOTOROLA making their phones for [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > perish in the wake of the moto god , respect the moto god and your poor > souls MAY be spared....... sooo...... VERIZON SUCKS, GET A NEXTEL !!! "From my understanding nextel has more digital coverage than any other provider. Once again NEXTEL is #1." Are you kidding me, have you traveled anywhere at all! I mean I live in Nassau County, NY and travel frequently, but just this Sunday I was out in Kings Park, NY at a motorcylce event, my Nextel constantly went in and out of service, luckily I kept my Verizon when I made the mistake of trying Nextel, for it had constant service as it does everywhere I travel! Motorola does not OWN Nextel... They OWN STOCK in Nextel. There is a very big difference. And they are slowly but surely selling all that stock off, year by year, getting rid of all of it. I'll have to find the news article that explains it.. but I think they're going to get rid of all but 1 or 2 % of their stock in Nextel. > Motorola owns nextel, I herd something about 26% of moto's stock is nextel. > As far as I know the v60 is the phone that will have PTT on it for verizon.

Craig McCaw also sold all of his stock in Nextel, he wanted out as well. He's the guy that owned the network that eventually became ATT Wireless.

I don't know if i'd go that far, but i do beleive that Verizon is not quite all they would like to make themselves out to be. They may be "#1 in customer satisfaction"...bla bla bla, but i dont tend to put a whole lot of faith into those as i do my own and others experiences. In addition if you look at the cumbers, the difference between the "best" and the "Worst" is not really that much to brag about=) And you are an a.s, NEXTEL SUCKS.
