After the Sprint merger, Nextel’s customers were leaving en masse,
and those who stayed lacked confidence in their wireless carrier.
Instead of focusing on gaining new customers, Nextel switched its
strategy to focus on its base. Nextel began to reexamine how customers used instant communication. With all the time they saved
by reaching each other in less than a second and by not talking
much in the process (our target was proudly monosyllabic), they
were able to accomplish amazing things. They were getting work
done. A lot of work.
