AT&T to buy NextWave, holder of unused spectrum

NEW YORK (AP) ? AT&T Inc. has agreed to buy NextWave Wireless Inc., a company that holds the right to use sections of the wireless spectrum that could be used for broadband.

AT&T said Thursday that it's paying up to $600 million in cash, most of which will go toward paying off NextWave debt. That also includes $25 million for the shares, plus an additional $25 million if certain conditions are met.

Shares NextWave jumped $1.05 to $1.31 per share in over-the-counter trading Thursday morning.

The deal could give AT&T more room on the airwaves for wireless broadband, but there are unresolved problems with some of NextWave's radio bands. They lie close to frequencies that are used for satellite communications, and interference concerns have prevented them from being used. AT&T has asked the Federal Communications Commission to approve a solution that it says would prevent interference.

The deal doesn't include all of NextWave's spectrum. Some Canadian and U.S. holdings will be placed into a new holding company, to be owned by its debtholders.

In its latest regulatory filing, NextWave listed the value of its spectrum holdings at $434 million and its debt at $1.1 billion.

AT&T has been on the hunt for more wireless spectrum, a hunt that led it to agree to buy T-Mobile USA last year for $39 billion. That deal fell through on antitrust grounds, however.

The acquisition of NextWave is also subject to review by regulators. AT&T said that if it goes through, it could be using the spectrum for wireless broadband in three years.

San Diego-based NextWave has had a difficult life. It was spun out from Qualcomm Inc. in 1995. The next year, it bid $4.74 billion to buy the rights to 95 spectrum licenses from the government, big enough to cover nearly 94 million people. But the company couldn't make its payments and filed for bankruptcy protection.

The FCC took back and re-auctioned the licenses, but NextWave argued that bankruptcy law protected it from seizure of its assets. It took the fight all the way to the Supreme Court, which sided with it. The company emerged from bankruptcy in 2005, a year after it reached a settlement with the FCC.

NextWave sold some of the licenses from the 1996 auction to Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc., and MetroPCS Communications Inc. It returned others to the FCC.

NextWave's current spectrum holdings derive from another FCC auction in 2005 and from acquisitions from other companies. It spent $500 million on the license, it said in 2008. It was then also developing wireless network equipment, but those operations have folded or been sold off since then. The shares were delisted from the Nasdaq in 2010 because they failed to meet the minimum $1 value.

Iraq oil revenues up $1 billion in July

Iraq's revenues from oil, which account for the lion's share of the country's income, were up by about $1 billion in July compared to the month before, an oil ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.

In July, Iraq exported about 2.515 million barrels per day, or about 77 million barrels of oil, Assem Jihad told AFP, up from around 72 million barrels in June.

Oil revenues amounted to about $7.535 billion, Jihad said, up from $6.453 billion in June.

Iraq depends on oil sales for the vast majority of government income.

The country currently produces upwards of three million bpd, and Oil Minister Abdelkarim al-Luaybi has said it plans to increase output and exports this year to 3.4 million bpd and 2.6 million bpd respectively.

Reid, Boehner announce stopgap spending pact

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The top Republican and Democrat on Capitol Hill have announced an agreement to keep the government running on autopilot for six months when the current budget year ends on Sept. 30.

The announcements by Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and GOP House Speaker John Boehner are aimed at averting any chance of a government shutdown this fall. The legislation will pass in September.

The deal would also lighten the crush of business in a post-election congressional session agenda that's already overloaded.

"The speaker and I and the president have agreed that we're going to fund the government for the next six months," Reid said. "It'll provide stability for the coming months."

The agreement would fund the government at levels called for by last summer's budget and debt pact between Boehner and President Barack Obama.

While precise details will be ironed out over the August congressional recess, the deal embraces spending at a total annualized rate of $1.047 trillion for the day-to-day operations of Cabinet departments like the Pentagon and other federal agencies.

"We are encouraged that both sides have agreed to resolve this issue without delay," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement. "The President has made clear that it is essential that the legislation to fund the government adheres to the funding levels agreed to by both parties last year."

That's a retreat for Republicans, who had sought to cut $19 billion below the budget agreement reached last summer with President Barack Obama and shift $8 billion more from domestic agencies to the Pentagon. The alternative of risking a government shutdown just weeks before Election Day was an unacceptable alternative to GOP leaders who want to keep the spotlight off of Congress and on the presidential race in the weeks running up to Nov. 6.

A House GOP leadership aide said the decision to take the issue of a government shutdown "off the table" was intended to keep the larger focus on jobs and the economy, where Republicans think Obama has failed and is most politically vulnerable. The aide required anonymity because he or she was assessing the political considerations of the decision and was not authorized to do so publicly.

The six-month funding bill, known as a "continuing resolution" in Washington parlance, punts a huge number of decisions into the lap of the next Congress and whoever inhabits the White House. If Mitt Romney is president, he has promised immediate 5 percent across-the-board cuts to most domestic appropriations accounts funded by Congress every year. Obama vows to live within the 10-year spending "caps" agreed to last year.

Follow These Expert Tips To Get Acne Free Skin Today ...

No one looks bad when they have clear, smooth skin. Having healthy skin is something everyone wants. Acne does not just happen to teens, it affects people of every age and gender. If you suffer from acne and have been trying to clear it up, consider looking into starting a skin care regimen. You will find the advice you need to get yourself started in this article.

It is vital to put acne medicine on the entire face and not just on visible spots. There can be acne under the skin in areas that haven?t appeared yet. Reserving the medication for only the visible acne will miss those future breakouts. Remember to apply the medication to your forehead, too.

Hydration is essential for skin health, especially if you suffer from acne. Water is one of the most essential things you can consume everyday. Aim for 6 to 8 glasses every day. If you have an overabundance of dead skin on your face, your pores will get blocked which is the reason you get acne.

A diet that contains fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains will help your body get rid of acne. Also, drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, and to flush the toxins out of your system. Try to get about 10 minutes of sun per day.

Most of you have probably heard that stress is a huge contributing factor in acne breakouts. Stress is not always easy to avoid, but fortunately, there are several ways to cut back the stress in your daily life. Stretching exercises are a great way to reduce stress. Consider Pilates, tai-chi and yoga as great options.

It is important that you not pick at acne or acne scars. This will cause more irritation, redness, scarring, or possibly an infection. If you want to get rid of acne scarring, talk with your dermatologist.

For clear, acne-free skin, consider applying tea tree oil to the spots where you are acne-prone. Tea tree oil can treat blemishes, reduce oil buildup and kill germs without drying out your skin.

I used to suffer through the pain of acne at one point in my life. Then it just went away. When I stopped eating greasy foods such as pizza and fried foods, it really helped clear up my skin.

If acne breakouts are common for you, wash your face more often during the day. Wash your face twice a day, once after waking up and once before going to sleep, to clear up acne-causing bacteria and prevent your skin from breaking out.

If you?ve popped a pimple, the best treatment for it, would be to apply a dab of Neosporin. Redness and irritation also respond well to the cream?s ingredients. When applying Neosporin, always make sure to use a Q-Tip in order to assure no dirt and oil from your hands gets into the infected skin. You want to be sure that you do not put too much on.

Almost everyone, except the truly blessed, has suffered the torture and embarrassment of acne during some phase of their life. Seeking solutions to your acne problem can often lead you to a frustrating search. This article gives some realistic, workable solutions. Consistently applying these tips will soon give you the healthy, smooth skin you?ve always wanted.

Fully Assembled iPhone 5 Shown In Latest Leaked Images

What?s being rumored as Apple?s unannounced next-generation iPhone 5 is being shown in the latest round of leaked images depicting the phone?s housing with the aluminum casing, elongated and larger display, along with a smaller dock connector. The images being leaked match what we?ve been hearing from earlier rumors.

The latest image set was reported on?9to5 Mac?and originally appeared on iLab Factory.

From the front and the sides, the iPhone 5 appears similar to Apple?s iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S smartphones, though the display is slightly longer on the iPhone 5 than on previous models which had a 3.5-inch display with Retina Display resolution. On the bottom side of the phone, we can see a new new machined microphone and speaker grills and that the 3.5-mm headphone jack has migrated from the top left of the phone to the bottom left of the device.

Also on the bottom, we?re seeing a smaller dock connector port suggesting Apple may be migrating away from the dock connector format that has appeared since the debut of the original iPod.

Additionally, the Apple FaceTime camera is now centered just above the earpiece speaker.

On the back, rather than a glass panel, the phone now is housed in an aluminum casing and there are plastic cutouts, perhaps to improve reception and help with the assembly of the phone, for top and bottom panels.
