Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2008 by NextWave Wireless Inc. (the “Company”), the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) on October 7, 2008, indicating that for the previous 30 consecutive business days the bid price of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Rule”).  In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was given 180 days to regain compliance with the Rule, which grace period was subsequently extended by NASDAQ regulatory action and expired on January 21, 2010.
 
On January 22, 2010, the Company received a Staff Determination letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of NASDAQ indicating that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting from The NASDAQ Global Market because of non-compliance with the Rule, unless the Company requests a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) by the close of business on January 29, 2010.  The Company intends to request a hearing on the matter by not later than the close of business on January 29, 2010.  Upon receipt by NASDAQ of the Company’s hearing request, the Company’s common stock will remain listed on The NASDAQ Global Market pending the Panel’s final decision.  In connection with the hearing, the Company intends to submit a plan outlining its strategy for regaining compliance with the Rule, which the Company anticipates may include a reverse stock split.
 
On January 25, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the Staff Determination letter from NASDAQ, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
