Clearwire: the next Ricochet?

Craig McCaw

We've been trying to decide whether the news that Craig McCaw, who apparently was important at some point, is launching a new broadband wireless Internet service called Clearwire, was worth mentioning. The whole thing smacks of Ricochet, that wireless Internet service which crashed and burned a few years ago (but then kept coming back), but we're going to play it safe and reserve judgement (a rarity for us!) until we can see it in action.
