    WiMax Empire Poses Continual Threat to the AT&T Network [view article]
    Thank you Monrio. The big words used in the above article to little to clarify the writer's point. But I must object to your suggesting that these types of words belong in a creative writing lab. They do not! Any good writer knows that using a 5 cent word rather than a 25 cent word will increase comprehension to ALL audiences - not just those audiences who have had, well, perhaps too much vocabulary training! The ol' KISS saying (Keep It Simpe Stupid) is never more apt when writing. Reply

    I just wish there was a money earning WiMAX network somewhere in the world before all this hoopla. Coming to think of it, I just wish there was a money earning Wireless Data network anywhere in the world (I don't care if it is 2G or nG). I am a wireless engineer and never heard anyone make a single dime on wireless data (that includes WiBRO - Korean WiMAX) Reply

    Hey Geddy, get your facts straight. Here are the facts about WiMax:

    1) Over 130 countries are deploying or have deployed WiMax. LTE is not even out of the standards review yet.

    2) China & India have already deployed WiMax

    3) There are over 400 companies working on WiMax products and services including Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, Intel, Google and many, many others.

    WiMax has at least a 3 year time-to-market advantage......but what many still do not understand is that this will be a complete and fundamental shift in the way wireless is sold. The Sprint-Clearwire model is a completely open system.....it won't be a Sprint device, it will be a GE, Samsung, Intel, Dell, Acer, Microsoft, Apple, Pioneer, Ford, Chevy, Honda, Bayliner, etc, etc DEVICE!!! Sprint-Clearwire becomes the ARMS dealer......

    AT&T & Verizon fear this FACT the most and want to distract people from WiMax at all costs......they want a CLOSED system that they can control and monopolize....     Reply

    scalability is important, but getting to the dance 2 years before anyone else is huge! Reply

    Word choice: "magnanimous"... "mergence". "ineludible"... "profound heights".

    Are these the words that belong in a business article or back at the creative writing lab?     Reply

    It's all about scalability & that's where if I was betting on WiMax I'd be nervous. Every carrier in the country is betting on LTE (as well as every major vendor; i.e.-Lucent, Nortel, etc.) while only one is going with WiMax. China & India are also going LTE (commonly known as the fastest growing economies in the world as well as the most populous) so that doesn't bode well either. Just my 2 cents.... Reply

    While I am long CLWR and agree with most of these points to an extent, I don't think AT&T's viability is at stake. Oh, and credibility would be enhanced by properly stating that the next generation is a 4G network. That said, CLWR is a strong buy at the current price. Reply

    Cell phone users can contract brain tumors, kidney stones, diarreah and a host of other maladies. I think there are more cases of diahreah than brain tumors among cell phone users. Therefore, cell phone users should be cautioned to carry Immodium just in case. I'm not an MD or pHD but this is as profound as I can get. Reply

    There is simply no scientific basis for this. Not only do virtually all studies demonstrate little to no correlation of cell phone use to cancer, it scientifically doesn't even make sense.

    If non-ionizing RF energy is dangerous, why are we not also warning people to stay away from WiFi, cell towers, radio towers, and tractor trailers (via their communication systems) ? All of these sources put out far more RF energy than a cell phone does. And it's not like it's a different "kind" of energy, some of them are in virtually the same frequency bands as CDMA and GSM. I love how this scientist when pushed says "well...better safe than sorry." Seriously? Do you know how many things we should get rid of if that's our criteria?

    Comparing the telcoms to the tobacco industry has me scratching my head in confusion. The uses for cell phones are many and obvious where nobody needs a cigarett. Cigaretts can't call the police or roadside help and you can't locate family/friends with one. Tobacco companies spent years denying the facts and trying to confuse everyone by claiming there was no link between smoking and cancer, heart disease, etc. when it was plain that there was. I can see where people may limit cell phone usage but probably everyone who has a cell phone now will continue to at least carry one about. That means they'll still have active accounts with the telecoms and still be paying for them. With decreased use, however, the telecoms will find themselves not having to build out their networks as fast as they are now. I don't mean to make light of people's misfortunes but I don't foresee a catastrophe to telecoms bottom lines that you do. Reply

    Well, what's the LEVEL of risk? Is it comparable to smoking or more like eating peanut butter (aflotoxin exposure)? Reply
