Don't you mean that the FTC is allowing Spring and Clearwire to put their eggs in one basket, so to speak? If you mean the name, I'm sure XOHM is here to stay, as Clearwire is a company name, not necessarily a service name, and Clearwire sounds so 1990's while XOHM sounds 21st century. Just a thought.

And I have to disagree about the perceived economic bustitude of the N810WE. Its an investment in a new technology (yes, new for US, pun intended, not new as in brand freaking new). And like any new technology, its a gamble. Think of all those people who dumped money on HD-DVD discs and players, and all those who invested in Blueray. WiMax may come and go, or may stay and evolve. But I for one prefer it over the UMTS/HSDPA/EVDO lot.
