I'd like to understand more about the technical differences between
how Nextel PTT operates and how push to talk over cellular (PoC) will
work. I have read a lot of older posts that are sort of related to
this, but I'm seeking greater clarity. Any help appreciated! Kathy

Heh, given the experiences others have had with Verizon Push-To-Talk, I
parsed PoC as "Piece of Crap."

Nextel is basically a two-way radio with cell service added. That's why
it's PTT is very fast and efficient.
VZW sends it's PTT voice data in packets over the cell network, which is why
there are longer delays in the talking. The busier the network, the longer
the pauses can be between talk and listen. If you ever used
voice-over-internet it's the same concept.

I would have to agree there. From a user's standpoint, soon to be 'former'
user, VZW PTT simply SUCKS!!!!!

Very interesting, I wonder how does Sprint's (crap) ptt or Alltel's new
ptt work? are they also POC as I read somewhere months ago ...I believe
it was T-Mobile with one of the Nokia's was going to implement the ptt
but over gprs.

yep, vzw and sprint use VoIP for ptt. alltel uses kodiak or somethng
like that. and Iden is something about switch routing. (yeah i know,
very informative)
