There's got to be something to it

Craig McCaw has a proven history of success, if he's involved I highly doubt this is a money losing venture.

Re: There's got to be something to it

Teledesic and XO didn't do so well, so I wouldn't say his involvement is a guarantee of success. However, there aren't many players in the wimax market right now, so the potential growth is there (unlike the situation with Vonage's IPO).

 Mr. McCaw has been a mastermind at setting up cell phone businesses successfully. Once established he sells the business to the highest bidder. However, he also has had some companies that went belly up shortly after... His Track record although very impressive has come up short at times.

The first 2 years of Clearwire has a net loss of over 400 million dollars with no end in site. This company based on personal experience will never be a viable contender in the broadband market. My personal opinion is that Clearwire will be sold within the next 18-24 months.

Lastly the way to keep a customer happy is to provide superior customer service. Clearwire has and continues to lead the pack with extremely POOR customer service from the 888-clearwi group to the local market service and support.

Yup. I can only see this growing.
