notably McCaw Cellular, they were new specialist carriers.

You mean the guy who purchased MCI's wireless business and deployed
AT&T's technology in the license areas he bought? You're right. He's not
an ILEC, but he wasn't independent. Did the guy deploy any technology on
his own, or was he merely a speculator in radio spectrum licenses?

He built some, he bought some including MCI's. He was a cable guy,
not an ILEC guy.
