[...] cities, with 4G access. Details for 2011 and beyond are sketchy, but the company recently left open the slim possibility of transitioning to LTE from WiMAX technology at some point in the future. I’d expect Clearwire to still be using WiMAX for the next several years, however, as it [...]

I’ve yet to see any advertisements for Clearwire in the Atlanta area, do you know which parts of the city that they’re currently in?

The problem is that without a halo device you have to compete on price. Being heavily loaded with debt and trying to compete solely on price is a recipe for disaster. Look at AMD’s current state. Look at Sprint’s current state. If WiMAX had actually been rolled out on schedule by Sprint/Clearwire, 2 years ago, things would be different. They would have the competitive advantage of having a much faster network. At this point, they gone from being nearly 3 years ahead on the network side to less than a year. Couple that with the ability of carriers like AT&T and Verizon to finance a very rapid buildout and where does that leave Clearwire? They need the Halo device to bring in the high ARPU subscribers, which in turn will allow them to borrow the money they need to rapidly build out their network and maintain their technical lead. These things are all connected.

device may not be that important other than laptop usb dongles. regular old laptops are definatly the ‘killer app’ where wimax technology will have an advantage over LTE.

LTE and WiMAX will coexist. But Clearwire might have to revise its WiMAX strategy over time.

Clearwire is also expanding (or trying to expand) really quickly in Atlanta. Being able to get internet + phone for $55 is pretty nice. Especially since it’s “for life.”

It’s all about the devices. For Clearwire to succeed they need to have something as compelling as an iPhone.
