Maravedis is proud to announce our new report Sizing up the Competitive Opportunities for Verizon (LTE) and Clearwire (WiMAX). The report takes a look at these leading ventures into next generation wireless deployments as a study not just of the competitive challenges and opportunities facing Clearwire and Verizon, but as a portal through which to view the emergence of true ‘broadband everywhere’ performance over wireless networks.

As Clearwire presses ahead aggressively to deploy WiMAX, Verizon is moving ahead with fast paced development of LTE, as AT&T prepares to follow.  Despite the technology differences between the standards, each player must confront the complex shifts in market demand for mobile broadband devices as they balance a growing array of partnerships, classes of service, and the potential cannibalization of existing business.

As the largest contiguous wireless broadband spectrum holder, Clearwire’s challenge is to become a new type of facilities-based operator that can be parlayed through a growing array of partnerships to serve an open IP broadband market. Technology choice is not necessarily cast in stone nor the most important determinant of long-term success.

Key Topics Covered:

1. Why Clearwire could deploy LTE as well as WiMAX
2. How Verizon and AT&T may "cut Clearwire off at the pass" in their attempt to establish new markets
3. Clearwire's key market advantages and shortcomings: Why Clearwire's time-to-market advantage may soon evaporate
4. Verizon's key market advantages and shortcomings: Verizon's greatest challenge is not to cannibalize 4G before its time
5. How Clearwire can evolve service up to 1 Gbps per user
6. How differences in spectrum holdings and regulations impact business
7. How LTE may trump WiMAX plus Wi-Fi and 3G femtocells
8. The "Moore-Alamouti Law" that will leverage ICT into the future
9. How "Cooper's Law" multiplies the differences between Verizon and Clearwire
10. The evolution of open development social network frameworks towards video
11. And much more!
