While Sprint and Nextel have been quietly talking interoperability in the 200?-200? range, it looks like Nextel's been using the "Duck Swimming" approach -- apparently calm above water and legs pumping furiously beneath the water to make sure it could be united with a CDMA carrier. (Sprint isn't mentioned in the story.)
This didn't happen overnight. What do ya say to that?
