Clearwire Open to Switching Away from WiMAX

Clearwire has pretty much been synonymous with U.S. WiMAX since they got to work on the XOHM network, but CEO Bill Morrow has decided to clear up that misconception by saying they could change to LTE at the flip of a switch.

“We’re the only carrier that can do this. We’ll do what’s right for the business. Whether it’s LTE, WiMAX, future technology X, it doesn’t matter to me. WiMAX is here today, and LTE is not.”

Be that as it may, most cell phone manufacturers and carriers are leaning towards LTE, and in the long run, it will be in Clearwire’s best interests to make such a switch if they ever want to expand from wireless broadband and into phones.
