  1. I am surprised by the increase in their bid.  There is no other bid
  2. and they raise the bid price.  I keep coming to the same conclusion
  3. that is was an "inspired" increase based on some inside perception
  4. that it would be accepted.  Otherwise it would be an ignorant
  5. negotiation strategy, and I do not consider Nextel management stupid.
  6.

It's not a bid, my friend.  We (public safety community and private wireless community) did some
actual evaluation (along of Nextel) of what the actual costs are going to be to move, and Nextel
committed to the high side of that number in order to get the public safety and private wireless
communities to sign onto the plan.

This was NOT a negotiation (at least with regard to funding), and Nextel's commitment to funding
is not a "bid".  The ONLY way we were going to have a consensus was for Nextel to agree to full
funding for private wireless and public safety.

I would encourage you to actually read the filings (publicly available on the FCC's web site)
instead of speculating.  It's all in the documents.
