eventually, imho, there will be a big lawsuit against the FCC to declare most of its actions illegal and for an injunction against it violating the law again. that is the only way to stop the agency from acting in the illegal manner it does.

But the brute fact is that the FCC seems to have made a series of moves which have had the result of keeping spectrum unavailable for use. The use of the NextWave spectrum has been tied up by the FCC for years and years and years. For what purpose? Inquiring minds would wish an answer. Yeap!! Tied up by the FCC for years!! I guess that is why those D,E block licenses that Nextwave has held "uncontested" (since they paid cash for them) for the last 5 years have yeilded ZERO service to the public!! I mean 5 years is a long time. Seems like they could have done something to better the publics interest with them. Poor, Poor Nextwave! Hey! What do you think they are going to do with all of that spectrum? Let me help you out here! Just like General Wireless/Metro has done with there San Francisco/Miami/Atlanta spectrum won in Bankruptcy. They are leasing it out to ATT Wireless! I am sure there will be plenty of the GSM crowd to rent out the spectrum too. It will be the ultimate slap in the face to the Nextwave CDMA supporters. Instead of building a network. Nextwave leases the spectrum to the GSM crowd. The value of the spectrum is never appreciated by the shareholders directly, including Qualcomm. And the driving force for a move to CDMA(lack of spectrum) for the GSM operators is removed! The US Treasury is out the cash! With the recent telecom crash.. You can be sure there is not near as much value in the spectrum, and the funding doors to build another network will have dried up. In the end. Nextwave doesn't even pay the 4.8 Billion! PCSTEL
