Fiber optic is a clear wire. Wireless means there is no wire.

If that's what they're going for then they are too cute by half.

But what guru decided to use such a badly-reputated brand name to market their superior network under?
BTW, it's mainly known as XOHM, not Clearwire. ClearCrap will only own part of the network and shoulder part of the associated costs/profits...

My fiber optic is not a clear wire. It has a reflective coating that forces the light to travel along a certain path.

That deal, in which Clearwire and Sprint would split the country and roam on each others networks, has been scrapped- the new plan is to merge Xohm and Clearwire into a company that will be 51% owned by Sprint- there will be no distinction between the two networks after the merger.

It sounds like you need to do some research on Total Internal Reflection (»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_inte···flection). There isn't a "reflecitve coating" in fiber optic cable.

Semantics. The boundary layer (cladding) reflects the light along a specific path through the core.

Regardless, my main point was that the fiber optic cable (nor the fiber strand(s) inside) is not "clear".

You said it. Semantics.
