From what I understand, the CDMA side would still be growing at a lower rate than the competition- but it is growing.

Nextel should just be spun off (or sold off, if you can find anyone), all the people left on it are probably the types who you'd find the hardest to switch to anything else... let the company sink (more likely) or swim on its own, then they can't blame anyone when the ship goes down.
