Clearwire to offer own VoIP - After a few partners, Clearwire to "roll their own" - One small snippet of news that failed to grab the headlines for anybody but us VoIP geeks was that Clearwire announced they would buy Nortel's VoIP softswitch and begin to offer their own branded VoIP. This news comes some two years after first announcing a partnership with Bell Canada to market Bell Canada's VoIP to Clearwire subscribers.

 

Business

 

WiMAX Forecasts: Supply and Demand meet 4G convergence - WiMAX is an important and highly visible part of the evolving fixed/portable wireless landscape. WiMAX is certainly gaining momentum, what with the recently announced BSNL deployment as well as the articulation of Sprint's 4G vision. 

 

AT&T Nets FCC Approval to buy Major 700 MHz Spectrum Chunk from Aloha Partners - AT&T receives its expected approval to purchase a 12 MHz block of 700 MHz spectrum secured in a previous auction by Aloha Partners. 

 

Google Realizes its Open Access Wireless Dreams - We don't know if Google is the bidder that took today's C-Block of 700 MHz auction spectrum over the $4.6 billion threshold to guarantee "open access." But whether it was or not one of Google's major goals has been met. 

 

Asia's Role in WiMAX's Growth - According to Juniper Research, half of all mobile WiMAX subscribers will be located in Asia by the year 2013. This half will account for roughly 40 million subscribers concentrated mostly in Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan and Australia.

Deployments

 

 "If You Build It They Will Come" - The Kansas City Business Journal recently wrote a small but noteworthy article concerning WiMAX-deployment in the Kansas-city area. Kansas-based company CTC (Computers & TeleComm, Inc.) has recently received license for a block of bandwidth from the FCC and plans to use it to deploy WiMAX "well before Sprint's XOHM project comes to town."
