Clearwire CEO Open To Switching 4G Wireless Techs

from The Wall Street Journal
Clearwire Chief Executive Bill Morrow said he would be open to switching 4G wireless technologies down the line if it helped the company. Clearwire is currently rolling out a WiMAX mobile broadband network. Clearwire and majority backer Sprint Nextel have staked their claim to have the first 4G network in the U.S. If LTE becomes the dominant 4G technology, Clearwire can easily switch technologies given its newly built infrastructure, Morrow told Dow Jones Newswires. "We're the only carrier that can do this," he said. "We'll do what's right for the business. Whether it's LTE, WiMAX, future technology X, it doesn't matter to me." For now, Clearwire is committed to WiMAX. Morrow noted that "WiMAX is here today, and LTE is not." Details.
