Did you mean to post something else? The above is nothing to do with Clearwire. > http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/227935 The above is old news. That said, yes, Clearwire is out of money. > Clearwire may seem to work now in certain areas (Austin, Seattle, certain > areas in SoCal, etc), but if they really want to grow to that next level > (and do it fast), then they will need to switch to LTE I keep seeing that. I never see the justification.

I agree it looks like they're going to abandon WiMax, but I don't see the reason. Note: My netbook runs fast enough on 3G (the "mifi" device) for the few times I need to use it. My only interest in 4G would be to replace my wired connection at home, and I can only do that with either unlimited or a cap of minimum of a few hundred GB. So far Sprint is the only company doing that, and only with 4G. Nevertheless, I'd have to pay a fee to leave Sprint before January, and a fee to leave Charter Cable (my landline Internet provider) before January, so I'm perfectly willing to wait at least until then. And since I've decided I need to keep a netbook for on-the-road server-logins, I don't even need a smartphone anymore. At almost 67 I may be the oldest member of our group, and I may look at all of this with a very different eye than most of us, but that's my take.
