No, Nextel is not a cellular operator.  Nextel uses cellular technology  (that is, it re-uses frequencies in a honeycomb-like pattern in urban areas) but is an enhanced SMR, operating in the private 800 MHz band.  Originally, SMRs  could only offer service to entities eligible in Part 90 of the FCC rules -- business and industrial users.  Cellular operators are licensed under Part 22 of the FCC rules as common carriers.  Common carriers must provide service to anyone with the $$ in hand, the way I understand it.   SMRs can pick and choose their customers.  If they don't like the way you part your hair (or don't have hair, like me), they don't have to accept you as a customer.

	I hate to be picky, but isn't Nextel and Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio Service provider
	and the others, like AT&T Wiresless and so forth in the 870-890 thereabouts bands cellular
	operators???
	 
	I don't want to see good neighborly cellular providers disparaged.
