Because Wimax tried to take on the cellphone industry without actually getting any of them onboard besides sprint.

If they had focused on broadband to the home instead they may have had a different fate. This also sounds much, much faster.

Clearwire (aka Clear) tried focusing on home ISP service. They folded last year.

I was a user for about two years and, personally, the bandwidth just wasn't enough.

Clear was just fine for web browsing but way too slow for streaming video. That was what did it in.

I thought LTE did it in.
