Those that are interested the Clearwire Earnings Conference Call is about to kick off. 11am Eastern. Expected was .78 loss per share actual was 2.01 per share. Pretty ugly. It will be interesting to see the promoters put a positive spin on this. Best, Brad -Original Message- From:

I'm not sure it is an issue of Clearwire over-evaluation. I personally think it was just a publicity stunt to bring in some new cash last quarter, for both companies. Clearwire and Sprint each own 2.5G spectrum, and its equally worth what it is worth. The real issue is whether someone is

For the record, everyone in the WISP business (manufacturers and WISPs) I talk to about the collapse of the Sprint-Clearwire deal is jumping for joy about the news. I am too. WISPs do not need more competition, and a national WISP like clearwire which added 49,000 new subs in the quarter ended

I'm certainly not jumping for joy about ClearWire's poor news and performance. I agree with Tom that nearly any wireless failure in the news does not bode well for wireless operators. My point from the beginning was ClearWire is over-valued and therefore the only direction it can take is

Todd, If Clearwire went away tomorrow, small WISPs, WISP distributors and WISP product manufacturers would be far better off. Yes, I agree, WISPs would be much better off, if Clearwire disappeared. Yes, Sure if Clearwire is severally harmed financially by this, and they are slowed, WISPs

Very good points Brad. My opinion is that Clearwire will have a buyer, but what is unclear (no pun intended) is for what purpose? Clearwire could be converted to a Fixed Wireless, Zero Install Play. Clearwire backhaul infrastructure could be converted to a Cellular Backhaul play. Clearwire

He has already held that position at Nextel. He's the reason that there is a Nextel. There are not too many two-way radio businesses that were happy to see Nextel. You can be sure that will follow in the WISP industry with Clearwire. And don't think the merger is done yet Its not
