41 towers? Where in the world do you come up with these "facts", and why do you post such nonsense when it would be so easy to check. WiMax is up and running official in perhaps a dozen cities, and is partially implemented in dozens more. There are more than 41 towers in the DC area alone.

Perhaps he meant 41 markets not towers.

nope last i read on wimax.com sprint only had 41 4 g towers deployed

Kind of sounds like you might have been counting push pins on WiMAX Maps by the way those are markets, not towers.

But with only 41 towers, Sprint's plan to allow 120 million subscribers to have access by year end 2010 might be a little overly ambitious, no?

Might be. The range on those wimax towers is good. The problem is the frequency they have in some markets that doesn't do well with buildings and such.
Have not counted any push pins it is on a chart for global carriers and the number of towers deployed vs the number of potential customers.

from what Ive heard from a friend who worked for Clear they are using 2.1GHz to 2.5GHz, it is a bad spectrum.

When LTE comes AT&T will be using 700MHz.
