NEW YORK-Nextel Communications Inc. said it planned to donate the 1,200 wireless handsets it provided to the Republican National Convention to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Fund to Advance New York City for use by the city’s public schools. Nextel noted that the donation was the single largest made by the company and was valued at more than $250,000.
Nextel made a similar donation to Boston following the city’s hosting of the Democratic National Convention.
