Re: It's more like cable/dsl, not blueray/hd-dvd Wimax could do a voice standard as well. they could do VoIP all the way on the network. TMO has no plans on moving anytime soon so they could still do Wimax and still merge without a problem.
I don't see DT getting rid of TMO USA since it is still their cash cow. I could see TMO USA and TD taking Sprint though.
The only way Clear will not depend on Sprint is if Sprint sells their stake and Clear can pick up a few more national resellers of their service. Maybe CableVision, Bright House, WOW? They need some HUGE resellers or investors to help pick up what Sprint would stop giving them. Clear also depends on them for their own data which they'd still have to pay them. TMO and Sprint could do dual phones. LTE and WiMax which would work out. The same as GSM and CDMA a phones. Two networks 1 carrier. I can also see Sprint picking up Cricket and moving them into their family of companies and pushing all of their prepaid customers over to WiMax to get start trimming the CDMA and iDEN networks. They could also push them all under one brand and be done with it, instead of having Boost Mobile- iDEN and CDMA, Virgin mobile and what ever else they own.

| I wonder if Sprint would ever let go of >50% Clear. I'm not sure but I think Sprint still 'owns' the spectrum, which is hugely valuable. If Sprint does become under 50% owner of Clear, I would think that Sprint would then lease that spectrum to Clear and not 'sell' it to them. Not sure of the arrangements though. | |

| I think that Sprint still owns most of that spectrum. The only thing that they did was put the Xhom, the spectrum and then what resources they had on their already small but being built network.
If I was Sprint or even Dan, there is no way I would let go of that take. I don't think the BoD or shareholders would do it either. Sprint needs the Clear network in order to start off loading their current CDMA and iDEN networks. When they intergrate voice by VoIP they'll be able to do it more and more but not until they are able to build out WiMax even more and offer lower price 4g data/voice phones. Without offering the phones at a lower price (entry phones) Sprint will NEVER be able to fully change over.
