Comments on: Sprint WiMAX Spending Creeps Up http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/01/15/sprint-wimax-spending-creeps-up/ Jeff Nolan's take on investment, innovation, entrepreneurship and the technology industry Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:44:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Venture Chronicles http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/01/15/sprint-wimax-spending-creeps-up/comment-page-1/#comment-69228 Venture Chronicles Thu, 18 Jan 2007 03:19:28 +0000 http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/01/15/sprint-wimax-spending-creeps-up/#comment-69228 [...] Just yesterday I wrote about WiMAX investment creeping up and my hope for this technology. While enthusiastic about WiMAX I am also pragmatic about the fact that the same companies that screw us today are the ones capable of making the kinds of investments that a new technology like WiMAX requires to get off the ground therefore positioning them well to screw us tomorrow too. I keep hoping that a disruptive company, like Google, will see this opportunity and not be bound by decades of traditional telecom executive thinking, or that a private equity shop will see that subscriber loss among 2nd place telcos is self-inflicted and take one of these companies private. Sprint itself should be a prime candidate.
