Sprint announced that it will be offering dual-mode CDMA/WiMax wireless modems before the end of 2008. The modems will allow users to connect to the Internet via either Sprint's CDMA network or Clearwire's Clear WiMax network under a new MVNO agreement with Clearwire. Sprint will act as a mobile virtual network operator to sell services powered by Clearwire's WiMax network. Sprint also said that it will be offering dual-mode CDMA/WiMax handsets that can switch between the two different types of wireless technology. Sprint did not say when the dual-mode handsets would be available.

Sprint or Clearwire

This is new so Sprint does not own the technology they will only act as a provider for the Wimax service with the hardware. Clearwire will offer Wimax to whomever has Wimax enabled handsets, whether it is Sprint or whoever else. I wonder if Verizon will make Wimax handsets.
Verizon won't be using WiMAX, they will be using LTE.

Do a little research first.

I read the first part about the modems, failing to read the "handsets" part about the last sentence. 🤭
