You had aid to HW, "but PSI is also taking a significant risk using unlicensed spectrum. If they are wildy successful, they collapse their own system."

Why should "wild success" overload Clearwire's system?

"Consequently, the trick is to begin to migrate customers to licensed spectrum before the customer base gets too large."

Why? A wildly successful load would overtax a licensed one too.

"Once the sub base reaches a certain size, service quality will begin to degrade and the costs of the migration will outweigh any gains from the customer acquisition in the first place."

As far as I understand Clearwire's technology which is direct sequence Spread Spectrum there is no limit to the number of base stations that can be networked and the base has a 25 mile limit. Each base supports 50 - 200 end users. According to the company this is the smallest "ton" in the business for what it does.

The FCC remarks were garbled. The SI editor reminds me of the DOS editor. I can't figure out what I was trying to say either. "Specifically, there is none". None what? "If the arena remains business," What? Using SI editor and talking to someone won't work.
