Andy Digs Deep on the WiMax Deal

Good stuff from pal Andy Abramson about what the new Clearwire might do differently, instead of just acting like another DSL or mobile-phone option: Go deep with video, says Andy:

Instead of simply being another voice play to battle Skype or the mobile operators, the WiMax companies and the cable operators, and heck, even Ma Telco may all may find that they may be better off looking in another direction. That direction is real-time video communications bundled up along with other IP related services like voice and text, all in one neat little package.

There’s lots of meat to dig into here, including conjecture about how Skype has changed the game of communications forever, and why video and rich communications matter. So read the post. It’s worth your time.
