    • Clearwire: WiMax Rollout Begins, Signifies Industry Changing Potential [view article]
      WiMax is not a free offering so believe me, people will have to know it's on their devices or it won't connect. It will also not be available all over the country in my opinion until well after LTE launches...& then it will have lost whatever little time to market advantage it had. Oct 08 08:20 PM

      Hold on tight customers, time to experience some problems with this junk from Clearwire!

      It's not the technology, just the company from what I'm reading about complaints (clearwiresucks.com/blo.../).       Oct 08 12:06 PM

      Let's also take COCOViper's comments with "a grain of salt." He's a Sprextel employee so I imagine bias is relevant. Oct 04 10:02 AM

      And then ask all of us whether we trust anything that AT&T tells us. Might as well rate Bush as the best president ever. If you read Wireless Week & RCR you would see that T-Mobile has tested a cluster of sites along a stretch of highway with LTE already. Verizon Wireless will do the same by end of year.

      Just because Sprint/Nextel/Clearwir... (whatever they're calling themselves this week) launches one market (which by the way was delayed almost an entire year) doesn't make this a coup. Let's revisit this blog again, one year from now to see what we all have to say.       Oct 04 10:00 AM

      I believe since existing carriers already have their customers "heading the data way (i.e.-more ARPU coming from the data than voice offerings)" they have a head start. Backhaul is definitely going to be an issue though for CDMA carriers as I can guarantee most of what they currently have in service (including microwave) is not currently at the multiple DS3's that will be required per cell site.

      Don't be fooled that LTE is that far behind. Apparently the word is that T-Mobile has already tested clusters of sites & Verizon Wireless will be doing the same. Per the Lucent internal website, the only equipment that needs to be added to a CDMA Mod 4.0 cabinet (currently used by CDMA carriers) is a single module (in addition to OFDM capable antenna's) which brings time to market down considerably.

      But they really are terrible. Just do a bit of research & you'll see the customer complaints all over the place. Yes I know, everyone has upset customers...but nothing to the extent I've seen with Clearwire. They even have their own website dedicated by disgruntled customers; haven't seen that for other carriers (clearwiresucks.com). Sep 28 11:08 AM

      I work for a competitor so it's all in jest. Sep 24 09:32 PM

      And they've already lost their CFO before launching...poor "New" Clearwire! WAY too funny! Sep 20 10:38 AM

      Yet again you claim to have read my previous posts where I have stated this numerous times...MetroPCS. We don't sell data so not sure how I would be envious of a "startup" company that sells junk. Once we do start selling data I'm sure Sprextel/Clearwire will be something we talk about in passing...with quite a few jokes!

      I see you haven't denied working for Sprextel/Clearwire so we're all assuming that's why you're so defensive...good luck there bud!       Aug 30 09:50 AM

      Actually Ops Mgr. Dr. Ernest Simo is a well respected engineer & author of many books. He's a nationally recognized trainer in wireless technologies. As usual in all my responses to your uneducated posts, try doing some background research before posting crap...again, go back to work Sprextel/Clearwire sales puke! Aug 29 03:14 PM

      And yet again you didn't read my post. I DID NOT dispute any gain Clearwire had the PREVIOUS week. I only posted they lost that & more the week FOLLOWING. Good God dude, READ BEFORE POSTING CRAP! I also ask that you look up Dr. Ernest Simo who indeed also claims that HSDPA uses OFDM in some cases. Again, I don't claim to know anything, I just post my opinions. You can now go back to work Sprextel/Clearwire employee.... Aug 26 07:37 PM

      We can probably now restate this & say that some lost 10% this PAST week...i.e.-Clearwire. Horrible! Aug 23 05:01 PM

      If you've read my other posts you would also have seen I work for MetroPCS so get your stories straight before posting nonsense. I only made an observation actually backing up what you said...about AT&T only complaining because they have the same fight coming up about having too much spectrum. I actually can't stand AT&T either...but they're definitely (& quite obviously due to the sheer volume of customer defections from Sprint) better than Sprint. I'd also love to hear your opinions against my observations on market readiness of WiMax & LTE...post at will! Aug 20 07:14 PM

      AT&T (as well as Verizon Wireless) just purchased huge chunks of 700mhz spectrum...they're not worried. I believe they're disputing this "merger" just for the fact Clearwire/Sprint have a monopoly on 2.5Ghz that apparently doesn't have to follow the normal FCC rules for amount of spectrum in a market which they'll have to contend with soon themselves.
