BART wireless service progresses

The reach of cell phone service is expanding on BART. Nextel has wired some segments of the system, and people are already yakking and Blackberrying in these parts. Work on the rest of the tunnels is in progress. Other cell phone companies have contracted with Nextel (which is now Sprint, I guess) to also offer their service. BART says it's the first transit system to allow riders to access all wireless companies, rather than just the one that installed the antennas. BART also gets revenue from the antenna deals.
