LTE iPhone could bankrupt Sprint

The relationship between Sprint and Clearwire is very dysfunctional. Ok, I understand the reasoning behind the WiMAX initiative. It was either allocate and use the spectrum before given date or forfeit the licenses. WiMAX was a ready technology. LTE was no where near ready. So Sprint made the right decision no matter how people look at it.

However, With WiMAX up and running, Sprint and Clearwire should've remained as strong allies as possible. The massive spectrum holdings of Clearwire, is the notch that Sprint needs to compliment their own holdings. Sprint needs to focus on coddling Clearwire. This is the epitome of importance. They have squandered time and efforts over bickering rather than building what could be the fastest and most rubust 4G network around.

This is where the rubber meets the pavement. Sprint and Clearwire must forge ahead and take control. Stop acting as children and set the differences aside. Let's get this network rolling and prove that working together is better than feuding.
