Sprint Supports Idea of T-Mobile Investing in Clearwire
Don't do it T-Mo!
Stay away from WiMAX. Yes I know it's tempting but no, just be patient and hold out for LTE. WiMAX is not your best interest or your customers. It's a niche play. You're a global company that uses a global technology. Stick to what the world will be using. Sprint will learn their lesson when WiMAX fails and implement LTE aka "Plan B".
I'm pretty sure T-Mo will stick with LTE. Whatever tech they use in EU will be the one they'll use here.
I think the reason they may invest in Clearwire is if Clear decides to switch from WiMax to LTE, or get access to more spectrum. However, noth...

Wimax is not niche play its the best 4g option avaliable in the WORLD right now even better than lte. Clear is low on funding and tmobile is low on Spectrum and a real 4g solution. It would be in tmobile best interest to invest in clearwire or atleast...

Hahahahahaha! I love it! Who says that if LTE becomes the standard (a la VHS v. Beatmax or HD DVD v. Blu ray) that Sprint and Clearwire aren't ready for the switch? Plus, when Big Red goes live with their LTE, their spectrum holdings won't be able to ...

You do realize WiMAX and LTE are more less just branded names. right? Whatever the European parent company is using, is irrelevant. Tmo has no spectrum to build out the newer technology. ATT and Verizon have only enough spectrum to buildout their own ...

I guess some people forgot this article on Phone Scoop. Sprint may be open to the idea, but T-Mobile isn't.

Honestly, isnt Wimax and LTE simular enough to convert to either?
Sprint builds out Wimax then decides to migrate to LTE i figure the cost would be drastically lower then initial build out basically putting sprint in a good position to migrate and...

Next year Tmo's network will be faster than Sprint's WiMax anyway. . . .
Next year Tmo is upgrading to 42mb/s HSPA+, so it'll be faster than Sprint/Clear's WiMax network.
The next 2-3yrs it's going to be all about who is fastest. Bottom line is it won't be Sprint,...unless they upgrade to WiMax Release 2.

Surely they will...right?

Show me a screen shot of someone getting 21mbps on tmo now and maybe ill believe they'll be able to get 42 next year.

Maybe from an advertising point, yeah. But quality of network is a bigger sticking point.

I usually agree spot on with most of your assertions, but speed isn't the only factor.
If it was the only factor Sprint, since '08 when WiMax launched, would have been kicking the teeth of the competition in with steel-toed boots.
That did not ...

please answer this cellphone experts
Thanks John.
Here's a simple story of my cell phone experience.
I first used T-Mobile back when it wasn't called T-Mobile and well it sucked in every conceivable way
I switched over to Verizon. It was great the last 4 years I was using it. Then I learned to tether. Capped limits were a joke. Tethering was a feature I needed to have and I believe it is a vital feature for mobile internet usage. What really is the point of 21mb download speeds when I am being charged over 100 dollars a month! On top of that that I use 5 GB’s in a span of 2 days! Come on now Verizon, Att, and T-mobile. We are living in an age where we are transitioning from voice to video!
The 100 dollar individual prices were getting to me so I switched back to...

The simple fact is the wireless companies, for the most part don't advertise their product as a replacement for wired broadband internet service. If you're really using that much data, you should be on wifi connected to a wired internet provider. ...

5 gigs in two days?
Maybe the solution isn't tiered pricing. Maybe they should just ban people like you from having it since you don't know how to use it responsibly. Then just lower the price for everyone else.

Might want to watch it there. Sprint's CEO has gone on record to say that he likes the tiered pricing and might institute it later on.

Well my friend first I have to say I don't know what your doing to require so many Gigs in such a short time.

its good for t mobile
so they can stop making 3g look like 4g...
say what you want about wimax not being 4g, but atleast its beta 4g, not made up 4g
thats like tmobile claiming ISDN is broadband when wimax is more like DSL

Exactly! Anything will seem like 4g to a tmobile customer coming from 2g edge speed to 3g hspa+ but it is not 4g Wimax by any stretch of the imagination. 😎
Wimax and LTE are part of the same ecosystem
The ability is going to be out there in the next year or two for us to have dual mode chips, utilizing both Wimax and LTE, at a cost attainable to be sold.
Dan Hesse has already said this, but there is room for wimax and lte to co-exist. For Sprint and Tmobile, the answer isn't solved with "wimax or lte?"... its the challenge of the buildout, due to the amount of towers they have to erect to build a reliable network in their spectrum holdings. Verizon's current LTE buildout is easier because the spectrum (700mhz) is allowing them to overlay LTE antennae's on their CDMA towers with hopefully dependable results.
ANYWAYS, I see no reason that Clear shouldn't offer to allow Tmobile to use their excess spectrum to either build themselves...
