Re: [WISPA] ATT To Buy Wireless Spectrum From Aloha Partners For $2.5 Billion
You're right that Aloha paid $43.3 million for their first 77 licenses in the auction. They then went on to buy out Cavalier and DataCom: …In a related development, on February 1, 2005, Aloha Partners LP announced that it will purchase Cavalier Group LLC and DataCom Wireless LLC, respectively the second and third largest owners of 700 MHz spectrum in the US. Aloha Partners now has spectrum sufficient for a (mostly) nationwide network, including spectrum in the top ten urban markets and 84% of the top forty urban markets. (Steve Stroh, as quoted at http://www.dailywireless.org/2005/02/25/the-700-mhz-club/) Cavalier bought their markets for around $10 million. DataCom bought theirs for about $5 million. The $2.5 billion ATT paid to cover 196 million people works out to $12.76 per person. Compare this to the average paid per person in Auction 44 - about $0.55! http://hightechmagazine.com/ManageArticle.asp?C=100A=5953 On 10/9/07, Joshua Rowe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What a considerable profit considering they paid 43.3 million for it in 2002.
