Upstart Nextel Communications sent shock waves through the industry last week when it agreed to buy Motorolas SMR frequencies for $1.8 billion.That could pose a serious threat to cellular hegemony. Although both systems are based on the same basic technology,

46、SMR systems are digital and cover almost 25 times as much area as the average cellular network. SMR handsets wont work on cellular systems and tend to be bulkier than cellular phones, though they provide more features, like a digital pager service. And while cellular growth has tripled to some 13 mi

It is running out of channel capacity so fast, in fact, that 40% of cellular calls in high-density areas like Manhattan and Los Angeles fail to be completed. SMRs have capacity to spare, and service could eventually be priced 10% t

There are now about 1.5 million users of SMRs.The addition of another contender to an already crowded field of telephone systems will surely multiply the confusion. By the year 2010, consumers will be able to choose from at least half a dozen vendors of a dizzying array of wireless-communications services, including pagers, voice mail answering machines and
