Excerpt from Good Day, BWIA - BWIA Predictions / Trends for 2008 (Part 2) in Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA) / WiMAX News
I don't see any way in which this isn't inevitable. Clearwire has the
vision, but they'll need a lot more money, and although it's a bit
nuts, Clearwire apparently still isn't deploying Mobile WiMAX in new
markets. Sprint Nextel will struggle just to rationalize its Nextel 800
MHz conversion and its Sprint 1.9 GHz CDMA networks and streamline
their overall businesses - it simply can't afford, or significantly
fund Mobile WiMAX on 2.5 GHz spectrum - even if the strident
shareholders were supportive, which they're not.
