Telecommunications
pioneer Craig McCaw founded NEXTLINK in 1994 to deliver
next-generation communications services to businesses over
fiber optic facilities. The Company currently provides these
services in 49 markets across the United States. NEXTLINK is
the largest holder of fixed wireless spectrum in North
America, with licenses covering 95 percent of the population
in the top 30 markets in the United States. NEXTLINK's
wireless capabilities will extend the reach of the company's
local fiber optic networks.
Additionally, NEXTLINK has acquired exclusive rights to a
16,000 mile high-speed, IP-centric fiber optic backbone
network that will connect over 50 cities in the United
States and Canada. The backbone network is being completed
in segments, beginning in the later half of this year with
completion expected by the end of 2001. Through this
unrivaled collection of facilities, NEXTLINK will provide
integrated, end-to-end telecommunications solutions to its
customers. NEXTLINK is headquartered in McLean, VA.
