Clearwire promises a fully-open,

Sprint Nextel and Clearwire are promising that their new WiMAX network will support both open access and wholesale access and that it will reach 140 million people by the end of 2010. A filing at the Federal Communications Commission asks for permission to merge the 2.5GHz spectrum assets of Sprint and Clearwire into "New Clearwire," the company backed by Sprint, Clearwire, Intel, Time Warner, Google, and Bright House. In the filing, Clearwire makes the case that it will provide true "third pipe" Internet access to home and mobile users at speeds of 6Mbps (and 3Mbps uplink). The companies involved know how to make the right promises:
1) New Clearwire will permit consumers to use any lawful device that they want so long as it is compatible with and not harmful to the WiMAX network;
2) New Clearwire also will permit consumers to download and use any software applications, content, or services they desire, subject only to reasonable network management practices and law enforcement and public safety considerations;
3) New Clearwire will offer non-exclusive wholesale access to its network; and
4) New Clear wire will deploy an advanced mobile WiMAX broadband network that will cover up to 140 million people in the United States in 30 months.
