It does not block skype in Alaska or Washington State. Blocking VoIP is rumor not "well known". Clearwire serves my needs very well.</p> I Skype plenty and when in the USA I use Clearwire wherever I can get it’s signal. It does not block skype in Alaska or Washington State.

I think Sprint will end up buying this one eventually, too.</p> McCaw undervalued spectrum Motorola = Nextel 2.0? I think Sprint will end up buying this one eventually, too.

It appears Intel is going to pursue the future of broadband communications in Wifi and Wimax. Both of these technologies will incorporate Voip, as well as data.

I suppose you could say that narrowband will someday be extinct. It won’t be anytime soon, but Intel may have conceded it to the next generation of broadband communciations technologies.

It's well known that Clearwire is blocking other VoIP services and therefore won't let let its customers access Skype, etc. since it sells its own bundled service. This makes me wonder where is Intel on Network Neutrality. I see a HUGE opportunity for AMD to seriously OUT Intel on what is clearly a plan to sell out customers in favor of network providers. You need to report on this.</p> Om this is very intersting.

Intel doesn't seem to have a business in communications of any sort to be honest. They have blown it so many times, that it is hard to take any investment seriously.</p> Rick, can you explain what that means. narrow band?

I kind of thought that might be their strategy. They are pure broadband now, Wifi and Wimax.</p> So Intel swapped their wireless narrowband communication business for broadband.
