Another NextWave investor, Global Crossing, has given more than $637,000 in individual, PAC and soft money donations so far in 2001, 64 percent to Democrats. Global Crossing is currently one of the top ten soft money contributors in 2001 and ranked 23rd overall among top contributors in the 2000 elections, with more than $2.8 million in contributions.
