Clearwire eyes global WiMAX roaming agreement, Kanye blurts out: 'LTE is better!'

Pinky and the Brain were consulted, and you can rest assured they were both highly supportive of Clearwire's latest initiative. Announced today in cooperation with Russia's Yota and Japan's UQ Communications, Clearwire has banged out a memorandum of understanding with the aforesaid WiMAX carriers that "identifies the objectives and activities each operator will perform towards the realization of establishing WiMAX roaming between the [two]." With translators in tow, the trio are hoping to define and institute the necessary processes that'll ensure devices from each carrier works on the other's network, and while American's probably couldn't care less about these two operators in particular, it's the thought that counts. Just imagine -- 4G global roaming at a decent price point. That, friends, is the future.

I think he looked pretty stupid posing with his $15 bottle of Hennessey VSOP. Kanye, true ballers wouldnt be caught dead drinking that swill in public.

LTE is indeed better in terms roaming. It would just need to grow on the existing roaming agreements among 3GPP operators. Everything is from scratch for WiMAX people.

Of course he likes LTE... it's a remix. He has no appreciation for the talent it takes to actually create an entirely original work.
