engineer: Yes. The nonsense in the press that NextWave is a shell is just the way the "powers that be" (AT&T and the baby bells, and Nextel) have fed the press.

Will be fun to see when the wake up call actually takes hold.

Best.

<<What makes you think that NW has not been out taking options on tower sites for the last 3 years anyway? >>

Well, I'd be much happier if I knew the answer to that. For all I know they had those tower site options locked in way-back-when before they declared bancruptcy.

My guess (and it is a guess!) is that any agreements that were made then would be voided by the bankruptcy and would have to be renegotiated. If I owned the towers and had helped write the agreements, I would have had something along those lines in there.

There have been articles posted in the last two weeks that have indicated the NextWave site selection and engineering was largely completed in its initial two cities prior to the bankruptcy. The existence of this earlier work is an adequate explanation for me to believe NextWave will be up and running on their announced schedule.
