They did, kinda. (Buyout, yes. Nextel name death, no) Sprint owns Nextel, but they're actually reviving the Nextel name for all of their PTT devices. (Sprint is introducing QChat which is PTT over their network, but it will be interoperable with Nextel's PTT) The only reason they're separate in the poll is because Sprint's network is based on completely different technology than the Nextel network, and they're not interoperable.
