So Layne, you are corrext in saying that the 2.68M number includes pre-WiMAX, not true WiMAX.

Many people are not familiar with the terminology. Also for those of you interested in buying a single issue of the Maravedis quarterly report, it is 1495 EUR. Four issues is 2995 EUR. You can go to the Maravedis website to order: <a href="http://www.maravedis-bwa.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.maravedis-bwa.com/</a> So by BWA, you mean pre-WiMAX?

I believe it includes pre-WiMAX but I will ask. The 2.68 million in the Maravedis report is worldwide, not just the US. I believe it includes pre-WiMAX but I will ask.

Are you including all the "Pre-WiMAX" equipment which is NOT WiMAX? Most all of Clearwires customers are using NextNet equipment not WiMAX equipment. Please Clarify! “the number of WiMAX subscribers around the world rose to 2.68 million” I do NOT beleive your number of 2.68 million WiMAX users.
