Thank for that B2.

Seems like the longest strategic review in history and dare I say it likely to go on into next year. Not sure if no news is good news, as what happens to the sp, on good news here is usually -V.

Well in case I don't post again this year seasons greetings to all long suffering PXC'S

until dubens clears the uncertainties that he has created then pxc looks as if it will tread water..it is a shame because with the broadband money he had a chance to make some of his astute aquisitions. the share price now looks as if has bottomed and is now waiting for the news to see if it is marked up or down depending if dubens is picking up pxcs assets on the cheap

Council launches UK WiMAX first
19 December 2007

Milton Keynes Council has launched what is thought to be the UK's first commercial wireless broadband service using WiMAX technology

ConnectMK – a private company set up by the council to address the issue of poor broadband connectivity across Milton Keynes – has joined forces with Freedom4 to provide residents and businesses in the area with access to WiMAX services.

Brendan O'Rourke, chief operating office at Freedom4, told GC News on 18 December 2007: "In our experience in carrying out trials and market surveys is that the key things people find attractive are, firstly, the simplicity of use – there's no complexity in setting up.

"Secondly, there's no line rental – that allows us to be very cost-competitive, and the third thing is that it is very mobile, so when people move house, for example, they just pick it up and take it with them."

WiMAX is said to be particularly suitable for remote users who need higher uplink bandwidth to send large volumes of data.

O'Rourke added: "In Milton Keynes, it allows us to provide the reach and the coverage which DSL couldn't because of the area's poor infrastructure."

Steven Jewell, chief executive of ConnectMK, said: "Our aim is to make Milton Keynes the first WiMAX powered wireless internet city, and partnering with Freedom4 enables us to drive forward our ambitions. As the WiMAX network expands, we will have the capability to offer the service to an increasing number of residents and businesses, helping to make Milton Keynes a highly connected city."

O'Rourke said that early next year would see the launch of a dual back-up service, with a variety of options for customers to choose from. He explained that if, for example, residents' DSL line went down, the package could automatically reroute via the WiMAX service.

He also claimed that WiMAX was a fully encrypted standard. "There's no key to crack and no ability to snoop as with Wi Fi."

I'm totally out now, good luck to the few left.

[bamboo2] 19/12/2007 08:36

vod and orange had a similar agreement earlier this year but we're still waiting for some decisive action. 3G telcos would love to prevent wimax/voip becomming established in the uk.
good luck superglide.

[superglide] 18/12/2007 20:21

ok as great dragon sometimes says - i'm out and here's why - 3 and T-Mobile plan 98% uk coverage for broadband speed mobile access within 2yrs after their merger announcement today.

[bamboo2] 18/12/2007 16:14

[troys] 18/12/2007 14:35

[growthhunter] 18/12/2007 14:33

Rumors swirl in WiMAX world

Sprint-Clearwire detente?
By Cade Metz in San Francisco → More by this author
Published Monday 17th December 2007 22:33 GMT

There could be changes afoot in the world of WiMAX. One rumor-happy research firm is claiming that US WiMAX pioneer Clearwire may soon be purchased by Intel, while another is speculating that the company will soon resume its defunct WiMAX relationship with Sprint Nextel.

As reported by RCR Wireless News, an analyst with Raymond James & Associates spilled a research report last week saying that Clearwire's stock price was leaping after on rumors that a sale was imminent.

According to the report, potential buyers include Intel, wireless tower operator American Tower, and "a private third party." It's no secret that Intel is rather high on this broadband wireless technology, offering silicon for WiMAX-happy devices.

Clearwire's fortunes took a turn for the worse earlier last month after it severed ties with Sprint Nextel. The two companies had agreed to combine their fledgling WiMAX networks, but the agreement was shredded because of the partnership's "complexities." Without outside help, we'd argue, neither operation has any hope of reaching a nationwide audience anytime soon.

But Unstrung turned up a new report from financial analyst firm Think Equity Partners insisting that Sprint and Clearwire will eventually kiss and make up.

"We remain convinced of the logic of a Sprint/Clearwire alliance," the report reads. "We highlight the fact that the companies continue their discussions on the subject, although we expect no new agreement prior to a new Sprint CEO coming aboard."

"If they don't get together at some point, they're going to be competitors and that's not good for both of them," Eric Kainer, the report's daddy, told us. "If they get together, they can have jointly lower costs and a faster build-out and less risk. We've got all these milk and honey things lining up, and of course they're going to go for them."

Wireless watchers have questioned the future of Sprint's WiMAX network - known as Xohm - ever since the resignation in October of CEO Gary Forsee, the network's chief cheerleader.

Meanwhile, Sprint says all this is just guesswork. "I'm only aware of one report and it was rife with speculation. It's our policy not to comment on speculation," said a company spokesman. "Fulfilling a self-imposed deadline and promise to the marketplace, we confirmed we are in soft launch mode as employees in three cities (Chicago, Baltimore and Washington DC) experience the Xohm WiMAX network and contribute to further network optimization." We also contacted Clearwire, but they ignored us.®
