Won't happen. Tmobile wants in... Sprint owns a majority of Clear and they aren't going bankrupt anytime soon.... especially since they are tearing up the competition nowadays. Look at the hints that are being laid out. Tmobile has been begging for Wimax... Clearwire needs money... Sprint has said publicly that they would be willing to use Wimax AND LTE... Upgrading Tmobiles network to LTE would be a cinch...

T-Mo is not interested. Trust me. A GSM company begging for WiMAX while the rest of the world will be using LTE? Right. That's suicide and they know it. They're just waiting for the kinks to worked out with LTE before hopping on the bandwagon but in the meantime, HSPA+ will keep them...

Again... you are just "hoping" this isn't true. What I said about Tmobile wanting in on Wimax is a documented fact... and they are in talks to make it happen as we speak. Sounds like you are a Sprint hater. Get over it. If you are a Tmobile employee, you will have your checks signed by Sprint by 2012...

one thing that jayshmay provided, proof that T-Mobile doesn't want anything to do with Wimax. You have yet to provide anything on this "well documented" made up story that T-Mobile wants to be apart of Wimax.

He "proved" that The CEO is quoted as saying he didn't want "wimax". He did not prove whether or not it was true.

There are MANY more stories like this. Now, these stories are from earlier this year but the point is proven... TMobile has been interested in Wimax since it's inception. The Sept 30th article is the 1st and ONLY time Tmobile has said that it was NOT interested. But let's be real here, CEOs say this stuff all the time... VZW denied wanting to buy Alltel... all the way up until they made the decision public.

Explain to me how you think Sprint is going bankrupt... Where are your sources? Oh and um Ford IS going bankrupt, so Vinny's probably has more money and less debt than Ford...

Why would a wireless company be holding water? Are they a water company?

No, really, if you're going to use a cliché, complete the sentence so it makes sense..

Yes. Tmo has recently said they are not interested in "WiMAX". This has nothing to do with spectrum however. Believe me when I say that they are very interested in the spectrum allocated for WiMAX.

Agreed, but wimax may help with backhaul issues if even possible.

The funding gap is for short term funding, until the end of the year. After that the partners will have budgeted additional money for Clear. They just won't put more into their budgets for the balance of this year.
GSM and LTE are not necessarily the fit. LTE is derived from WIMAX like UMTS is derived from CDMA.
Clear is looking to run both WIMAX and LTE simultaneously so a T-Mobile partnership is a good fit.
