Hi Everyone,
Amid all the news about the election today, I wanted to remind everyone that the Federal Communication Commission will also be voting today on the approval of the Sprint-Clearwire joint venture to create a nationwide WiMAX network. This is a very important vote for the wireless industry, and is very important for the future of WiMAX.

That’s great news. Now we just have to wait for the Clearwire shareholders to approve the merger with XOHM.
