    Hi there,

    Which of the major carriers (Sprint, Verizon, Cingular, Nextel, AT&T,
    etc) supports WAP Push?

    For those that support WAP Push, do they support cross-carrier WAP
    Push?

    Thanks
    Dom

    The God of Englightenment speaks, and we must all believe him.

    Perhaps there's some anal-retentive definition of "carrier" which
    disqualifies Nextel; is there a chance you can share your definition
    with us? By every normal definition of the word "carrier", Nextel is a
    carrier.

    Instead of snippy posts to Usenet, why not file a complaint with the
    SEC? Nextel always refers to themselves as a carrier. Everybody else
    seems to think they're a carrier. If you truly know why they're not,
    you should share this secret Gnostic wisdom with the rest of us
    instead of merely asserting it without comment.

    I have to agree with John that NEXTEL isn't considered a "cellular
    carrier". They are licensed as an Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio
    (ESMR) under Part 90 FCC R&R's which regulate two-way radio users.
    They don't have to follow the same cellular regulations as the rest
    and if they really wanted to could of blew off the FCC on E911 Phase 2
    requirements. Of course they eventually "want" to be a cellular
    carrier by requesting the band swap to get the 1.9 GHz spectrum so
    they did the right thing by putting GPS in their phones. Also once
    they deploy 1.9 GHz technology they will have to conform to Part 24
    FCC R&R's and John and I can then call NEXTEL a "carrier" :-)

    Oh I totally agree John that the FCC is so mixed up as to what to do
    with NEXTEL on a lot of matters. As they fall under Part 90
    http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/w...7cfr90_03.html
    they don't have a single requirement for E911.
    The Part 22 carriers have it *****ed out in black and white...
    http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2...7cfr22.921.htm

    Go figure! The FCC quite often won't even follow its own rules or
    they make them up as they go along. Once the NPSPAC/806 swap is
    completed you can be sure that NEXTEL petitions the FCC to re-classify
    the 821-823/866-869 spectrum as a new cellular block so they don't
    have to keep site licensing as a Part 90 licensee. That will save
    them a ton of money on coordination/licensing costs.

    Sprint can answer your questions.
    I do have a question and another comment: Is a mut a dog? Is a dog a
    mut? Obviously 2 questions and now that makes 2 comments. So when I go
    fishing if I don't hold my mouth right then I dont catch fish.
