Wireless Pioneer Craig McCaw Acquires NextNet & Announces U.S. National Expansion Plan

Wireless Pioneer Craig McCaw acquired NextNet in early 2004 and announced plans for a U.S. National broadband wireless deployment, commencing in Jacksonville, FL in the summer of 2004. The Jacksonville launch is part of an aggressive planned build-out throughout the United States.

Forbes Billionaires list

Wireless pioneer Craig McCaw, Chairman and CEO of Clearwire, was formerly the Chairman and CEO of McCaw Cellular Communications, which he built into the nation’s leading provider of cellular services in more than 100 U.S. cities, before selling the company to AT&T Corporation in August 1994 for $11.5 Billion.

In April 2004, McCaw’s private investment company COM Holdings Canada, invested $50M in Microcell Telecommunications for a planned Canadian National deployment of NextNet’s NLOS technology. Microcell is a major wireless provider, offering a wide range of voice and high-speed data communications products and services to over 1.2 million customers. Microcell was sold to Rogers Wireless in Sept. 2004 for $1 Billion.
