Seriously? A company that takes pride in only having a handful of different products, buying huge amounts of infrastructure? Also, how likely is it, that this infrastructure is worth a dime in decade? Quite, likely I guess, but it would still be risky bet.

On top, as Swannie has pointed out, Apple has an international market.

If they buy Clear, they're possibly going to face obsolescence. Many folks think Wimax will lose out to technology like HSPDA+ and LTE in a few years.
