FEATURE: Sound off - Industry players discuss the Sprint/Clearwire WiMAX deal

Tools

On May 7 Sprint and Clearwire announced plans to combine their WiMax businesses and create a new company (called Clearwire) with a $3.2 billion investment from Intel, Google, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and others. Here's what members of the wireless industry are saying about the deal. If you would like to weigh in on this deal, answer our poll question here.

"The biggest challenge is getting all these companies that are important participants to agree on the essential value proposition, both from a marketing and distribution standpoint. How will this relate to Sprint, if Sprint remains a standalone wireless company? If Sprint continues to be standalone wireless company as it is today, how do they promote the value proposition of the new WiMAX entity vis-a-vis their own cellular network? What is the value proposition for Sprint if there is Clearwire? That's a key issue..." --Mark Lowenstein, managing director, Mobile Ecosystem.

The best thing for Clearwire to do is take control of everything they can get their hands on. They are going to be in for a big surprise when they see what a huge mess Sprint has made of Xohm.

Will XOHM go on the Stock MKT. What ticker should one watch for to buy, when it does?? Or what stock should you buy now to get in on it??
