NextWave activates wireless network in 60 markets biz.yahoo.com
WASHINGTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - NextWave Telecom Inc., which is in bankruptcy protection and fighting in court to retain its wireless licenses, said on Thursday it has activated its wireless network in 60 markets and is conducting customer trials for its wireless data service in some areas.
``Deployment of an advanced IP-based wireless network has always been one of our primary goals, and deploying facilities and providing fully mobile wireless service to test customers represents an important milestone for the Company and its investors,'' NextWave Chief Executive Allen Salmasi said.
The Hawthorne, N.Y.-based company has been engaged in a massive legal battle with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which has tried to repossess the wireless licenses from the company because it failed to pay for them on time.
The network was activated in cities ranging from Orlando, Seattle and Washington, D.C. to Kansas City, Los Angeles and Boston, according to the NextWave. ==== Looks like they built out. Some had doubts. DPR =====
