3. Why the need for PTT?  Began seeing some churn due to Nextel  Studies show that 60% of U.S. subscribers are interested in PTT (source: InStat Group 2005)  We felt that with our network coverage compared to Nextel’s, our PTT service would be superior.  Always want to add services that increase ARPU!
