Growing WiMAX

As many of you might have seen, this week saw the continued expansion of WiMAX technology across the country, through network launches by Clearwire, Towerstream and Time Warner.

While the CTIA 08 Doors Close – Networks Open

Hello from San Francisco!
It’s been a crazy few days here at CTIA, but I wanted to take a few minutes to blog about what I’ve seen on the show floor before my flight home takes off.
CTIA tends to focus on applications, software development, and network architecture, and the show this year was home to some [...]

3-Gee, that took a long time!

With the first mobile WiMAX networks from Sprint and Clearwire expected to launch this fall, consumers, mobile business users, and members of the WiMAX community are now asking – how long will it be before I can get my hands on a mobile WiMAX-enabled handheld device? Last week at the Intel Developer Forum [...]

AT&T Jumping on the WiMAX Bandwagon? Friend or Foe?

Drama, Drama, Teledrama…
The mobile space is facing some growing pains. Sprint and Clearwire are trying to move into a new market. AT&T is opposed. Wait, maybe AT&T is confused?
In a recent interview with USA Today’s Leslie Cauley, AT&T’s new CTO, John Donovan, says the company is on the look out for a [...]
