 ·Comcast
| Possible Explanation If Comcast has their own dedicated femtocell spectrum, they can choose to integrate femtocells into their CPEs (modem + router + homepoint + femtocell anyone?) and improve in-building coverage.
This helps both Clear and Comcast, since both have a better-coverage product for mobile broadband (and eventually mobile voice; fixed voice is available through Clear and Comcast right now, albeit via disparate methods). It also might get Clear to give Comcast a discount on mobile broadband subscribers, since network load on Clear would be lower in Comcast-heavy areas (WiMAX traffic would be backhauled over the cable network rather than over Clear's links...Comcast with DOCSIS 3 has enough capacity to make this happen). |
