Thanks Reagan for your research. The last two links pretty much sum it up. It looks like a very good place for IDC to start . The only problem I can see that we may face is vendor financing. Most of the winning bidders in the auctions expect vendor financing . As you probably know many companies such as Nextwave are all having problems in that area. On the bright side financing a project may be easier in the US than abroad because you don't need the world bank being involved. Another option would be for New England Wireless is to go public with Worldwide Wireless and finance there own system with the proceeds , or to get some private investors to finance one of the three bids won and use it for a model.
