Sprint Nextel deal tests tech culture clash in wireless race
Sprint's $35 billion bid for Nextel would create Sprint Nextel with about 35 million subscribers and $40 billion in annual revenue, ranking third behind Cingular and Verizon. The merger faces culture and technology integration risks as Nextel's rugged, legacy push-to-talk phones differ from Sprint's multimedia, data-driven offerings, with full network migration not expected until late 2006 and possible job cuts.

UK High Court rules against jail without trial for terrorists
Britain’s House of Lords ruled that detaining foreign terror suspects indefinitely without trial violates human rights. Seventeen detainees remain held under the 2001 Anti-Terrorism Act as Parliament reviews the measure. The ruling, 8-1, quashes the opt-out and questions the law’s application to non British nationals. One detainee welcomed the decision and urged release.
