NextWave Telecom Inc. entered into a definitive agreement to sell Cellexis International Inc. 5 billion minutes of airtime during the next 10 years from its personal communications services network.
Tempe, Ariz.-based Cellexis is a prepaid wireless service provider with operations in Washington, D.C., Boston, Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz., Albuquerque, N.M., Denver, Salt Lake City, Seattle and San Francisco.
The company said it plans to expand service in a number of Texas and southern California markets later this year.
“Our strategic plan is to roll out markets as NextWave rolls out its PCS markets across the country,” said Cellexis President and Chief Executive Officer Douglas Fougnies. “Cellexis believes that resellers are the key to expanding the distribution of wireless services.”
NextWave won 63 C-block PCS licenses at auction.
“Overall spectrum policy should be set after a considered and deliberative effort to address the complex questions it presents, not on a piecemeal basis as political needs arise.”
