<<Let me give you an example. Some people use patents as an important knowledge attribute, but to me the number of patents that a company has is not very meaningful at all. You can get patents on almost anything, so simply having a large number of patents is absolutely meaningless. But there are ways to measure the attributes of the patents that have real significance. For instance, one powerful measure of the real value of a patent is how many times subsequent patents refer to it. If you have good science, then people will refer to you a lot, and you'll contribute a lot. >>

If there is a reauction, Nextel will have to compete with many other bidders and the spectrum will be auctioned city by city--not as a single auction. The biggest problem with a reauction is the delay; it will take the FCC a year to do it; meanwhile, there is a crying need for its use and NextWave can probably put it to use as fast or faster than anyone else.
