Hey,

I'm new to the list so apologies if this is too far off topic, however:

I'm currently working with an installation artist in Durham to develop 
an interactive audio piece that will be displayed at Duke in April/May. 
As part of the project we're creating a wireless data link between two 
buses that will carry high quality audio (conversations between riders - 
so that people on one bus can talk to folks on the other bus).

Our hope had been to use Nextel's Broadband service as the link but 
given their recent plans to scrap the network we're no longer able to 
buy an account.

However, I am wondering if there are any current users out there that 
might be willing to give up their cards/accounts for the last month or 
so of their service? (Apparently Nextel plans to shutdown the network in 
June.) If so we'd be willing to pay for the cost of the card and your 
monthly subscription fees starting in April or the end of March. Plus 
you'd get to be part of a very nifty installation (and we'd give you big 
time credit for helping us out)!

Assuming this doesn't work out we'll use Sprint's PCS based data service 
 but that's a bit of a compromise. So if there's anyone out there that 
has Nextel Broadband or if you know anyone who does please drop me a line...

Take care,
Kevin
