Has anyone tested LTE in Galveston?

América Móvil does good prepaid business as TracFone Wireless in the United States. Maybe they should buy Sprint.

It looks like a small number of co-located WiMAX sites may be affected from Sprint's iDEN shutdown. Source: http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/clearwire-sprints-iden-shutdown-affect-small-number-co-located-wimax-sites/2012-07-31

How much data are you using per month?

How do you know?

Are you watching the Olympics?

Clearwire said they expect to announce their LTE Vendors in October. More info here: http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/clearwire-stays-track-tdd-lte-launch-defends-financial-position/2012-07-26

Leap (Cricket) uses Alcatel-Lucent as their LTE Vendor. Source: http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/leap-launches-lte-service-huawei-modem-tucson/2011-12-21

Imagine if Sprint had to turn off cellular service on a tower over a bird's nest. That won't be awesome.

It looks like Clearwire is improving its leadership position by taking on a Former U.S. Senator to its Board of Directors. Source: http://corporate.clearwire.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=695693

What if Clearwire decided to go as a private company?

Is that the job for Philip Falcone's Harbinger Capital Partners? Harbinger seeks investments that typically fall into the following four categories: Event – investments in companies where the Harbinger team identifies a significant opportunity to actively engage with a company to unlock value; Distressed/Bankruptcy – investments in companies that are already in default, in bankruptcy, or in some other stage of financial failure or distress; Value – passive investments in securities where Harbinger believes a positive catalyst for value realization is already present; and Corporate Shorts – passive investments where Harbinger views the security to be overvalued or believes weakening fundamental trends or identifiable negative catalysts are apparent. Philip Falcone leads Harbinger's investment team, relying on his extensive experience in distressed debt, leveraged finance, and special situations across an array of market cycles.

I heard that LightSquared recently received approval on a $51.4 million bankruptcy loan. I wonder what that money is going to be spent on. Source: http://www.bloomberg...llion-loan.html

How about as a wholesaler or investor?

DirecTV had LTE Plans with Verizon that was later ditched after Verizon struck deals with the cable operators. I can see DirecTV working with Clearwire on LTE in the future to stay competitive with DISH LTE Plans. Source: http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=215446

Can Clearwire be a possible profit for LightSquared? Would it be a good idea if LightSquared bought off Clearwire?

MetroPCS will also host their conference call on July 26, and Leap Wireless (Cricket) will host their conference call on August 6.

This is being discussed in this topic: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/1488-freedompop-extends-agreement-to-sprint-3g-and-lte/

Is anyone following this presentation tomorrow?

How about Clearwire situation once they start deploying LTE?

Comparing it to iDEN and EVDO, Clearwire all-IP WiMAX network architecture makes it efficient at a lower cost from its compact design.

You are right. It takes time to deploy LTE, and Clearwire needs to keep WiMAX up and running to pay for operation cost. Another fact is WiMAX is still more efficient than iDEN and EVDO.

I am waiting for Clearwire to make an official announcement when they will start launching LTE. Check out their story. http://www.clearwire.com/company/featured-story
