Clearwire recap: Services, devices and a new CEO

Before Clearwire Corp.’s (NASDAQ: CLWR) first quarterly conference call as a fully merged entity on March 5, we asked some questions about what the company might reveal. So how did Clearwire do in answering them? Let’s go to the scorecard!

We asked: Where else will Clearwire launch services, and when? Clearwire answered: Lots of places, including Atlanta and Las Vegas in the summer of 2009; Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia, Dallas/Fort Worth, Honolulu, and Charlotte, N.C. later in the year; and a re-launch…

Some questions for Clearwire

Since Clearwire Corp.’s (NASDAQ: CLWR) upcoming earnings call on March 5 is its first as a fully formed nationwide WiMax provider, there should be plenty of interesting details that emerge from the financial filings. But there are some bigger-picture questions that need to be asked or answered, if we are to get a ‘Clear’ picture of where the provider is headed in 2009.

A Happy New Year to everyone! Although most of us would rather forget 2008 and consign it to the darkest corners of human memory, I’d like to take one last look at the most significant Muniwireless stories of the year. From the increasing demand for Wi-Fi to the exciting launch of WiMAX in the US (although not so exciting launch in Amsterdam), the much-awaited release of the 3G iPhone to the revival of intelligently planned municipal wireless broadband networks, there’s…

Clearwire ‘business pricing’ emerges

It made sense to us that small-to-medium-size businesses might be some of the early adopters of mobile WiMax services in the U.S., especially companies with “local nomads,” workers who roam a lot but in a somewhat local region (which could be covered by a single metro-area WiMax service). Seems like the Clearwire folks are thinking the same way, as evidenced by this new page touting business-specific service plans for their Portland, Ore., network.

While the in-office broadband prices seem competitive —…
