Re: Frequencies/Markets?
said by fgoldstein  :These were all PCS licenses, mostly C-block (a few Fs). NextWave bid crazy-high prices at the C-block auction in 1996 or so, and then defaulted before paying for them, declaring bankruptcy. It's a long, long story but this was part of the settlement. VZW picked up the rest of NextWave's remaining licenses last year in a private deal, I think with some of the money going to the FCC (well, the treasury really). That's what I was looking for. Thanks! |

I think the wireless market mostly, some older paging frequences, and those at or around the 800Mhz public safety band. One could check out »www.fcc.gov/auctions they might have further info. |
