I call bull____! They did NOT add all these towers. NO SITE WAS ADDED IN LITCHFIELD. ya its been planned for a billion years but guess what, construction hasnt even started, so they're lying.

They were probably mostly CDMA add-ons to existing Nextel sites. Not entirely new sites. Also some of these improvements could have been for the IDEN side.

No, Litchfield has only two towers. Sprint is on both of them and has been for years. There is NO IDEN, no existing nextel sites, i know for a fact. Nothing has been added in Litchfield by Sprint Nextel. No iden, and no cdma, there are just "plans" for a new tower.

Well enhancements can mean new cell sites or upgrading equipment at existing ones.
