>> The initial phase for the project will include building a CDMA full-scale voice and data service to be offered in Detroit and Madison, Wisconsin and a data-only network in 93 other markets over the next 10 months << This sure sounds like NextWave is going to piggyback their service on existing towers, perhaps even sharing existing base stations. As others have noted here on multiple occasions, building a new tower is not a trivial exercise. Site approval is probably more difficult and time consuming than the actual construction. Nor is tuning base stations in that many markets going to be without difficulty. We all have heard stories of how problematic new systems are. A total of 95 markets is a pretty big bite for a company that only has 40 or so employees right now even if they have existing plans and Lucent executes perfectly at every site the first time. (Ha ha.) Who else would their partner(s) be? Who has the existing national or super-regional tower distribution to be useful? Sprint? Verizon? What about roaming?
