Clearwire enjoys every bit of its WiMax extravaganza at the investors’ expense. Lately Intel and Google have written off more than $1.3 billion. Clearwire hasn’t blinked. It used to pitch WiMax as a mobile substitute of DSL. That never worked. Then it started claiming: WiMax is 4G and it will be better than the LTE of 3GPP camp. Noted. But now Clearwire has dropped the bomb – as par the agreement with Intel, it is not allowed to try LTE before November 2011. Knowing the fundamentals of technology is good. But being the fundamentalist of technology is bad, very bad. Nevertheless, Frost & Sullivan said, “With HSPA and LTE gaining momentum, it is now or never for WiMAX in APAC”. Don’t waste your weekend to figure out the fate of WiMax.
