With the XOHM/Clearwire deal finalized, news is coming fast from the carrier, who most recently noted that they'd be using the "CLEAR" brand for their new mobile WiMax service, and deployment could be slowed due to tight credit markets. Company CEO Ben Wolff is making the media rounds, saying in a conference call that the carrier won't rule out using LTE technology, if that's what is required to survive. "In the future, our network vendors will be able to deliver to us equipment that runs both mobile WiMax and LTE," says the CEO. "If LTE truly becomes a global standard, as WiMax has, Clearwire will be well positioned to provide LTE."
