The Nextel brand has been dormant ever since Sprint shut down the iDEN network last year, but in order to put any remaining rumors to rest, the company has made the death of Nextel all but official in a recent interview with FierceWireless. In the interview, Matt Carter, president of Sprint Enterprise Solutions said that he has not heard anything about the return of Nextel.

The report, which cited an unnamed source familiar with the company’s plans, said the branding refresh could happen as soon as the first quarter of this year, as part of a larger push to woo business customers.
