DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
On October 23, 2007, NextWave Wireless, Inc. (the "Registrant"), filed a
registration statement on Form S-3, as amended, Registration Number 333-146861
(the "Registration Statement"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission to
register the resale by the selling stockholders named in the Registration
Statement of up to an aggregate of 4,265,500 shares of common stock, par value
$0.001, of the Registrant (the "Common Stock").
The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement to deregister all of the Common Stock. The Registrant is seeking to
deregister the Common Stock because its obligation to keep the Registration

stockholders has expired. The Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement and deregisters all of the Common Stock registered
under the Registration Statement that has not been resold thereunder as of the
date hereof.
