      World's Biggest WiMax Bet
      Quote from Geddy: "Don't be fooled that LTE is that far behind."

      Quote from AT&T's VP of Network Architecture: "LTE technology will not be rolled out for at least another three years--and probably not on a large commercial scale for another five years." -www.fiercewireless.com...

      Thus, those that read his comments might want to take them with a grain of salt (especially when he uses a still in development tech to bash an already launched tech.)

      Just What the Telcos Didn't Want to Hear
      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?

      Why Cable and WiMax Shouldn't Mix
      Everyone’s comments above (except Geddy who seems to know nothing about 3G (i.e. EVDO-A) vs. 4G (WiMax)) hit the nail on the head.

      WiMax has its problems, and so does Clearwire and Sprint- but if anyone thinks tech boundaries get pushed without problems, it seems they have been asleep in a cave for the last 100 years. Similar problems were faced by both companies and tech in the deployment of everything from the original POTS telephone system up to the continued roll out of wired broadband today.

      To the victors belong the spoils, and while it is risky, the best way to BE victorious is to take risks and fix the problems as they come; not sell off and run away because it's difficult. That's called refusing to compete and it lands you companies like Matrox, IBM's former PC division, VIA, etc...All companies that were once the best in their respective markets but as soon as they got heavy competition and problems; they surrendered and now just try to survive.
