Atryn writes "Many of you may recall the Nextel broadband trial of Flarion's Flash-OFDM Technology in Raleigh, N.C. last year. They have since shut down that trial. Now, Nextel has announced a new broadband trial of UMTS TD-CDMA in Washington, D.C. for this fall. Other coverage here and company press releases from Nextel and IP Wireless."

    Sprint and Nextel haven't merged yet. They're still waiting on approval from the government, as well as the share holders. On the off-chance that the merger falls through, it's going to be necessary for Nextel to have a higher speed data solution.
