FCC close to resolving NextWave problem
The Federal Communications Commission and NextWave are understood to have reached a preliminary agreement to resolve their long standing dispute over ownership of PCS spectrum in the USA. The new agreement would result in NextWave receiving part-payment for the spectrum that it holds, in December and the government receiving the remainder in May next year.

The FCC has come under pressure to negotiate a resolution to the problem rather than resort to a lengthy legal battle as it would release funds to the government which are needed to finance the economic program that was initiated following the attacks on New York and washington in September." more
