Clearwire Posts Narrowing Losses, Soaring Net Adds

If Clearwire's fourth-quarter results are any indication, things seem to 
be turning around for the mobile WiMAX company.

Clearwire's net adds hit 87,000 in its fourth quarter, more than it 
added during its entire 2008 fiscal year. The fourth-quarter increase 
included the addition of about 90,000 net new retail subscribers in the 
company's mobile WiMAX markets, which were partially offset by slight 
declines in its domestic and international legacy markets.* *

Clearwire's subscriber base is comprised of 46,000 wholesale customers 
and 642,000 retail customers, bringing its total customer base to 688,000.

The company's net adds weren't the only thing to increase. Sales were 
also on the rise, hitting $79.9 million in the fourth quarter compared 
to $20.49 million last year. The sales increase helped to offset the 
company's heavy spending on its network build, narrowing its losses to 
$98.73 million from $118.02 million last year.

Clearwire CEO Bill Morrow was optimistic about the company's wholesale 
services, whose customers include investors Sprint, Comcast and Time 
Warner Cable. He also expects the company's network expansion to triple 
its 4G subscriber levels over the next year. Clearwire plans to cover 
120 million people by the end of 2010, up from 44.7 million by the end 
of 2009.

Retail ARPU, currently at $39.86, is expected to remain flat in 2010.The 
company expects to spend between $2.8 billion and $3.2 billion to build 
out its mobile WiMAX over the next year.

Clear focuses on 20K+ populations.

They will not announce availability until they are fully commissioned. They
will also not allow for new accounts while they are converting from the old
clearwire system to the new clear system *(wimax?).

More interesting is that they don't even have us on their coverage map 
although they are already deployed here, maybe they will pull out,

This does not talk too specifics. But has some areas at the bottom.

In looking at Clear's web site, they have a green for areas that are covered
now and a dark grey for future coverage.  Does anyone know how quickly they
expect to fill that coverage?  How quickly they'll expand beyond their
future coverage?

They have to do something. If they don't start adding customers soon their 
first mover advantage is going to be lost.

They've met with our datacenter folks and been on the roof numerous times.
To me, that says they're getting ready to make some sort of move.

Interesting. They are installing equipment on towers in our area (after
having leases for 4+ years) but I'm not seeing Orlando as a current or
future area. Actually I'm not seeing future areas (just in the legend).
Maybe I have the wrong map.

I haven't seen their site, but I know they've been sniffing around Colorado
Springs quite a bit the last year.  I think they're getting ready to make a
