Abstract (Abstract): Given some of the past successes that [Craig McCaw]’s been involved with – the wireless
pioneer played key roles in the development of McCaw Cellular and Nextel Communications – the success of
the Clearwire IPO was not surprising, said Ovum wireless analyst Roger Entner. However, a successful IPO
does not necessarily mean Clearwire will achieve long-term financial viability.

Full text: Wireless broadband provider Clearwire raised $600 million through a much-anticipated IPO that is
expected to help finance the company’s capital-expansion efforts. Less than a year ago, Clearwire announced
IPO plans but abandoned them after receiving $900 million in private investments led by Intel and Motorola.
Founded by Chairman Craig McCaw in 2003, Clearwire serves more than 200,000 customers in 35 metro
markets. The company is building a next-generation network using WiMAX technology and recently announced
it would pay $300 million for airwaves in the band that AT&T was required to divest as part of its merger with
BellSouth.
Given some of the past successes that McCaw’s been involved with – the wireless pioneer played key roles in
the development of McCaw Cellular and Nextel Communications – the success of the Clearwire IPO was not
surprising, said Ovum wireless analyst Roger Entner. However, a successful IPO does not necessarily mean
Clearwire will achieve long-term financial viability.
“There are enough people around who will blindly invest in anything Craig McCaw touches, so I don’t have any
doubt that the IPO will succeed; I just don’t know if the investors, in the end, will be happy,” Entner said. “It’s
going to be tough for them because broadband penetration is already so high, and they’re going after the same
low-hanging fruits that have largely been picked already.”
