I think Craig McCaw is into XOXO as well.

Cellular Pioneer Puts Up 'For Sale' Signs
By GERALDINE FABRIKANT and GRETCHEN MORGENSON

Craig O. McCaw was always a man in a hurry. He began building the nation's first cross-country cellular phone network when he was in his 20's. Before he turned 50, he sold it to AT&T (news/quote) for a profit of $840 million. Then he invested that money in new telecommunications ventures and rode the technology stock tsunami to a $9 billion fortune last year.

Now, Mr. McCaw appears to be in a hurry again. This time, a hurry to unload many of the properties he amassed as one of the world's richest people. "For sale" signs have appeared on three homes; three jets; a 300-foot yacht; a ranch; a private island off Vancouver, British Columbia; and even a collection of rare California wines.
