                           NEXTEL/MOTOROLA AGREEMENT
                                 March 27, 1997


        The  x x x  Nextel Business Plan (the "Plan") presented to  x x x
concluded with Pages 19 and 20.  Page 19 of the Plan quantified Motorola Fixed
Network Equipment and Handsets for the  x x x  plus  x x x .  Page 20 of the
Plan offered Nextel suggested solutions toward accomplishing the Plan.  This
document establishes the joint commitments and agreements between Motorola and
Nextel with respect to Nextel's desire to rapidly expand and grow its United
States business as well as establish  international business operations.

                    Joint Commitments of Nextel and Motorola

A.       Nextel agrees to place orders by  x x x , and take delivery in  x x x
         of at least   x x x ,  x x x , and  x x x  of Motorola iDEN
         infrastructure and  x x x  Motorola iDEN subscriber units of which at
         least  x x x  are to be  x x x  units.  All infrastructure equipment
         and subscriber units shipped to date in  x x x   prior to execution of
         this agreement will count towards the overall purchased and shipped
         commitments in  x x x .  Motorola will insure sufficient manufacturing
         capacity to produce and ship the quantities of equipment and
         subscriber units specified in this paragraph in  x x x .

         Purchase orders for infrastructure may be issued with generic
         quantities of sites and base radios provided that 90 days prior to
         shipment configurations are determined that are within (10%  of exact
         configurations which must be established 30 days prior to scheduled
         shipment).  Configurations for longer lead time items, such as  x x x
         and  x x x , must be established based on normal manufacturing lead
         times from Motorola vendors.  The parties jointly commit to develop an
         x x x  throughout  x x x  and  x x x .

         It is understood that requirements to manufacture and ship subscriber
         units will be x x x.  However, the parties agree to establish a  x x x
         forecast for subscriber units so that units produced and shipped
         within the beginning and end period of the short term step will be x x
         x.

B.       Nextel agrees to the  x x x  of iDEN technology for a period of  x x x
         in all  x x x . Furthermore, Nextel agrees to place major
         infrastructure orders with  Motorola for shipments in  x x x  for  x x
         x  and the  x x x , and in  x x x  to place major infrastructure
         orders with Motorola for  x x x  and  x x x .

         Nextel agrees to include Motorola Network Services as a partner in the
         x x x  opportunity, or buy out Network Services interests at fair
         market value.  Motorola and Nextel agree to use best efforts to arrive
         at a fair market value agreement for Network Services interest in  x x
         x .

         In consideration of Nextel's desire to aggressively enter the
         integrated services business in international markets  x x x,
         Motorola's LMPS International Network Services Group and iDEN Group
         will agree to meet quarterly with McCaw International to discuss plans
         and opportunities where there may be mutual benefit and to give Nextel
         appropriate notice prior to selling or transferring Motorola's owned
         SMR channels to give McCaw International the opportunity to consider
         purchase of such SMR channels.

        Motorola will agree not to x x x  rights to purchase or use x x x  in
        international markets (other than x x x  and x x x  where previously 
        granted rights expire in  x x x ) or enter into other arrangements 
        that would prohibit Motorola from  x x x to MIL for x x x such other 
        international markets.  However, if MIL expresses no interest in 
        certain international markets where other customers have expressed 
        conditional firm interest in  x x x , Motorola  will entertain 
        specific customer requests to insure an equipment sale. 
        
C.       International Pricing

         The following sets forth the basic framework for international pricing
         on both infrastructure and subscriber purchases by McCaw International
         (MIL) or its affiliates.

         Infrastructure Pricing

             -   If MIL commits to  x x x  per year of aggregate net discounted
                 EBTS shipments in markets with either (i)  x x x and  x x x
                 or (ii) in markets with at least  x x x , Motorola will match
                 x x x .

             -   Motorola will count  x x x  of net discounted EBTS shipments
                 up to  x x x  in value in non-controlled markets towards the
                 x x x  annual commitment.

             -   If EBTS shipments in a calendar year are less than  x x x ,
                 prices will be  x x  x  higher than  x x x .  ( x x x )

             -   Installation/optimization and other unique costs will be
                 determined by country/project and billed separately.

         Subscriber Pricing

             -   If MIL commits to  x x x  aggregate units per year of iDEN
                 subscriber shipments in markets with either (i)  x x x and  x
                 x x  or (ii) in markets with at least  x x x , Motorola will
                 x x x   for subscriber products and accessories.  The  x x x
                 will not be applicable to international subscriber units
                 loading.

             -   If subscriber shipments are less than  x x x  per year,
                 prices for subscriber units and accessories will be  x x x
                 higher than  x x x . ( x x x )

             -   Type approval and other unique or additional costs associated
                 with doing business internationally will be determined by
                 country/project and billed separately.

             In markets where MIL has less than  x x x  and  x x x , prices for
             both subscriber and infrastructure will be mutually negotiated
             between the relevant parties.

D.       Nextel agrees the  x x x   x x x  program is a  x x x  program.   x x
         x  of infrastructure and/or subscriber equipment is not permitted, nor
         are international purchases counted toward the U.S.  x x x  in any
         year.

E.       Motorola will price its infrastructure at the appropriate  x x x  ( x
         x x ) and the subscriber units per the  x x x .

         For years  x x x  and  x x x ,  Motorola will agree to an
         infrastructure  x x x  program.  The  x x x  will be an infrastructure
         x x x  for each  x x x , x x x  and  x x x  subscriber unit  x x x
         onto  x x x  as described below.  Motorola agrees that it will x x x
         if, due to no fault of Nextel, it is unable to ship the minimum
         infrastructure quantities specified for  x x x  and  x x x  in Section
         A and on Page 18 of the Plan.

         Year  x x x  Infrastructure  x x x  Program

          x x x ,  x x x
                 Motorola will provide a  x x x  plus provide  x x x  (or  x x
                 x  if package other than  x x x  package is ordered) of  x x x
                 respectively.

         x x x  unit volume counts toward  x x x  and  x x x  unit volume.   x
         x x  does not qualify for any  x x x .  In the event the combined  x x
         x ,  x x x  and  x x x  purchase and shipped volume exceeds  x x x  in
         x x x  thus qualifying for a  x x x  on all  x x x , the  x x x    x x
         x  will also be  x x x  on all  x x x .

     x x x
         Motorola expects Nextel to order a minimum of  x x x   x x x  units
         and will offer a  x x x   x x x  up to these quantities and will
         provide  x x x   of the applicable  x x x  (or  x x x  if package
         ordered other than  x x x  package is ordered) for all units
         purchased.  After that volume, Motorola will increase the  x x x   x x
         x  by  x x x  to  x x x  for all units in excess of  x x x .  This  x
         x x  increased  x x x  applies only to the  x x x  between  x x x  and
         x x x .  At  x x x and above, a  x x x , the   x x x  returns to  x x
         x .

         1.  An additional  x x x  of  x x x  is available for each one
             percentage point increase in the  x x x   x x x .

         2.  Per Nextel's request, infrastructure  x x x  will begin with  x x
             x  as of  x x x  and will continue through  x x x .  In order to
             continue throughout the full year, the full infrastructure program
             ( x x x ,   x x x  and  x x x ) must be ordered by  x x x  for
             shipment in  x x x . If the commitment beyond the  x x x
             "Existing Plan" is not received by that time, then the  x x x
             beginning  x x x  will be reduced by  x x x  per  x x x  and  x x
             x .  The  x x x   x x x will be eliminated completely.

             During the year Motorola and Nextel recognize that business and
             other considerations may affect the buildout commitment by Nextel.
             As such, Motorola and Nextel will mutually agree to make  x x x
             adjustments to the above  x x x  if the  x x x   x x x .

             In any event, a  x x x   x x x  program will be available only if
             the infrastructure volume exceeds Motorola's initial x x x
             infrastructure plan of   x x x ,  x x x  and  x x x .

    3.   The  x x x  will be  x x x  based upon the  x x x ,  x x x  and  x x x
         x x x  onto  x x x .  Motorola will, at Nextel's option, issue an
         infrastructure  x x x  for the amount of the  x x x .

         For purposes of determining the  x x x  and associated  x x x  in each
         calendar month, the following procedure will be used:

         x x x :
             The  x x x  between  x x x  and  x x x  will be used to determine
             the  x x x  amount.   x x x  is used as the starting date due to
             sales activity carryover from  x x x .

         x x x :
             The  x x x  between the last day of the prior month and last day
             of the current month will determine the  x x x amount.

         x x x :
             The  x x x  between the last day of  x x x  and   x x x  will
             determine the  x x x  amount. The  x x x  date is used to
             compensate for sales made in  x x x  that are not counted until  x
             x x .

         The parties agree to develop mutually an acceptable auditable method
         of determining the number of  x x x  during each payout period.

x x x  Infrastructure  x x x  Program

In order for Nextel in the United States only to continue to receive  x x x   x
x x  prices on  x x x ,  x x x , and  x x x  in  x x x   as will be  x x x ,
Nextel agrees to commit to purchase and accept shipment of  x x x of
infrastructure equipment in the year x x x   for both its domestic and
international markets plus commit to the purchase and shipment of  x x x
subscriber units for the U.S. markets in the year  x x x .  Quantities of * **,
x x x ,  x x x  and other equipment which total to an estimated cost of  x x x
will be mutually agreed upon between the parties prior to the end of   x x x .
In order to kick off the  x x x   x x x  program, Nextel  agrees to place
purchase orders for such equipment by  x x x .  Any  x x x  infrastructure
quantities that the parties mutually agree to ship in  x x x  will be  x x x
towards the  x x x  infrastructure shipments commitment in  x x x .

         Motorola will provide a  x x x   x x x  per  x x x , * ** or  x x x
         purchased and  x x x  plus  x x x  of the applicable x x x   (or  x x
         x  if   x x x  package is ordered) for each unit type based on the
         appropriate  x x x  price point of the x x x  schedule.

                 The maximum  x x x  to be made in  x x x  will be capped at  x
x x .

         1.      An additional  x x x  of  x x x  is available for each  x x x
                 in the  x x x   x x x .

         2.       x x x  will begin as of   x x x  and extend through  x x x .
                 During the year Motorola and Nextel recognize that business
                 and other considerations may affect the buildout commitment by
                 Nextel.  As such, Motorola and Nextel will mutually agree to
                 make  x x x  adjustments to the above  x x x  if the  x x x
                 x x x  commitments fall below the infrastructure commitment of
                 x x x  in shipments and subscriber commitment of   x x x .

         3.      The  x x x  will be  x x x  at the end of  x x x  based upon
                 the  x x x ,  x x x ,  and  x x x   x x x  onto  x x x.
                 Motorola will, at Nextel's option, issue an infrastructure  x

G.       Alternative Infrastructure and Subscriber Equipment Manufacturer
         Arrangements

         Section IV of the Second Amendment to Purchase Agreements dated April
         4, 1995, established a concept of "Licensing" alternate supply sources
         for both iDEN infrastructure and subscriber units.  Nextel and
         Motorola agree to update the agreement as promptly as practicable to
         establish a revised framework of agreement for potential third party
         iDEN infrastructure and subscriber equipment manufacturers.
