Clearwire & Sprint WiMAX roaming negotiation: ’significant process’ made





Latest news from the Clearwire/Sprint negotiation table is that the two companies have agreed on a common WiMAX network architecture that, in theory at least, would allow subscribers of one to roam on that of the other party.  The agreement was confirmed by Clearwire Chief Executive Ben Wolff, who added that Sprint and Clearwire were also working on collaborating in other areas, although he declined to detail these any further.

Wolff also declined to comment on the industry speculation that Clearwire and Sprint’s Xohm WiMAX network were planning to merge, funding network expansion with third-party investment.  In response, Clearwire shares – which had risen 20-percent on the Nasdaq when rumors of the merge broke – dropped by 12-percent.

Clearwire’s Q4 2007 revenue was around $45m, ending the year with 394,000 subscribers both domestic US and in international markets.
