"The FCC's approval of our laptop card is a significant milestone in bringing to market a 'true broadband' wireless service with a device that facilitates even greater portability than our existing modem permits," said Perry Satterlee, Clearwire president and chief operating officer. "We expect the new laptop card to broaden our potential customer base with more opportunities for customers to access and experience our fast, simple, portable, reliable and affordable wireless broadband services." Mobile carrier Sprint is investing US$3 billion in building a nation-wide WiMAX network which is due for completion by the end of 2008 and is expected to give the wireless technology boost in the US.{moscomment} |
