Can anyone confirm 232,000 WiMAX customers for Clearwire? I could
believe total customers, but I would think that the majority of those
would be using NextNet equipment and not WiMax.

Carl, Regarding your question, my understanding is a
few of us wireless practioneers blog on various wimax
sites in relation to WISP and enterprise. My subject
matter expertise relates to utility applicaitons and
munis. Many of these sectors are evaluating WiMax and
WiFi for certain mobile and connectivity appilcations
- mobile workforce, utility metering, SCADA, IP
enabled utility services. But for For genral
information on installations, take a look at the
following study provided by Maravedis at www.wimax.com
Please note my quotation marks in respect to the
author of the report: Adelane Fellah, CEO and founder
of Maravedis:
"By the end of Q1 2007, the 110 operators in our
(Maravedis) industry-leading WiMAXCounts Ã-- theWiMAX
Operators Tracking Service Ã-- accounted for nearly 1
million WiMAX subscribers. A total of 150,000
subscribers were added over the first quarter of 2007,
for 17.5% quarterly growth. The year-over-year growth
in Q1 2007 was 85%.
The United States, Spain, and Australia are the top
three countries in number of subscribers. In Q1 2007
they had 0.5 million WiMAX subscribers. The operators
with the most WiMAX subscribers within a single region
in Q1 2007 are Clearwire (US), with a customer base of
232,000; Unwired Australia, with more than 63,500;
Iberbanda (Spain), with over 40,000; and MVS Mexico
(ClearwireÃ's partner in Mexico), with 35,000 (this
last figure is from Q4 2006).
