A friend and I are considering opening a retail wireless telephone store. We are
considering two or three of the wireless companies (prob. Verizon, T-Mobile, and
Nextel.) What kind of advice can you offer regarding franchises (@wireless,
etc.) vs. indirect dealer contracts with the wireless companies. Can you suggest
any sources of info regarding the subject?

Most Nextel stores I've seen are franchised. I'm guessing this is mostly because Nextel does not have the broad appeal that other carriers do.
