AMG Technology Investment Group, LLC d/b/a NextLink

AMG Technology Investment Group, LLC, d/b/a Nextlink Internet is a privately held rural broadband provider headquartered at 95 Parker Oaks Lane, Hudson Oaks, Texas (Fort Worth area). It was founded in 2012 by Bill Baker, who serves as CEO. Per an FCC public notice (2021), Como Wireless LLC holds 85.42% of the company, Como Investments LLC holds 93.95% of Como Wireless, and William Baker owns 100% of Como Investments — i.e., founder-controlled, no public ticker. No parent-company ownership is disclosed. Size figures come from company/advisor statements: Inc. 5000 (2022) reported revenue growth from roughly $16 million (2017) to about $110 million (2021) and headcount growth from 130 to 950; KPMG Corporate Finance, an advisor on a transaction, described Nextlink as the fifth-largest wireless ISP in the U.S. with over 48,000 subscribers. Third-party directories list ~628 employees. These are point-in-time figures and not audited.

Operations. Nextlink is an operating internet service provider, not a patent entity. It delivers high-speed broadband and VoIP voice service over a combined fixed-wireless and fiber-optic network to rural and small-town residential, business, K-12, library, rural healthcare, higher-education, and government customers. It has built and operated its own towers and holds extensive FCC wireless licenses. It is a heavy participant in federal subsidy programs: it was the largest Connect America Fund Phase II auction winner (~$281 million), holds Rural Digital Opportunity Fund awards, and has sought Eligible Telecommunications Carrier designations and Lifeline support across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming and other states. It has also acquired smaller rural ISPs (e.g., Echo Wireless, extending into Indiana).

Litigation posture. The tracked data show exactly one case, with Nextlink as defendant and zero as plaintiff — the profile of an operating company being sued rather than an asserter. The sole matter is CommWorks Solutions, LLC v. AMG Technology Investment Group, LLC d/b/a NextLink, filed 2020-05-27 in the Eastern District of Texas, a venue historically favored by patent plaintiffs. CommWorks Solutions is a patent-assertion entity; the asserted portfolio derives from legacy 3Com carrier-networking patents. No litigation funding, outcome, or settlement details are available in the structured record, and no other suits involving this company are tracked.
