Interesting.
Why a Cable Co would want to fund a network to compete against themselves 
doesn't make sense to me.
To me sounds like more Sprint publicity stockmarket games, that will never 
materialize.
The enticement is probably with false expactations, considering a Wimax 
network would never deliver the capacity inline with a Video company's 
strategic goals.
Although, it would be a way to hit back hard to ATT and Verizon, and the 
many WISPs that are growing to a level that possibly could be getting 
annoying to Cable Cos..
What it does say to me is that Sprint/Clearwire is running out of options to 
find someone large enough and willing to fund their burn rate.
