Analyst perspectives on key wireless industry topics including mobile devices, network infrastructure, mobile operators, mobile content, and short range wireless connectivity.

It is interesting to notice the positive effect that poor home sales and foreclosures have on Clearwire's network.  It seems that educational institutions are losing their tax base when homes foreclose.  The negative effect on funding for schools has to be compensated for somehow.  Many of these educational institutions have an asset they can leverage, which is timely given the timing of Clearwire's network buildout - rights to 2.5 GHz spectrum.  These educational institutions were in general always interested in working out a deal with Sprint and Clearwire, but the tough economic times may push them into working out deals a bit faster.  This will work out nicely for Clearwire, who already has a significant amount of 2.5 GHz spectrum.  For an example, see this article.
