Sprint Supports Idea of T-Mobile Investing in Clearwire
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...
