Well said “Clearwire wasn’t so clear in the first few months of actual service deployment” Thank You Paul for the quick reply.

Eudy I believe Verizon did say that 41 percent of the LTE customers were new to Verizon. I actually commend them for having real numbers so soon after launch — remember Clearwire wasn’t so clear in the first few months of actual service deployments.

But I do agree with you that once all these services and devices are out in the wild there can be some meaningful comparisons of price plans and rates and data caps. Let’s see if Verizon and AT&T start providing more tower and coverage data too.

My question to Verizon is will you guys put out some real numbers. How many of these folks are current customers of your phone service and are bundling your wireless internet?. How many of the 65,000 are new customers to Verizon and are trying your high speed mobile internet service?

Taking into account a person has to buy the equipment, then they have a usage cap. I don’t see how they can compete with CLEAR. Someone may say CLEAR is not nationwide but it is, their 4g+ card is nationwide. More important the service that CLEAR is offering is a better value dollar wise.

With Verizon bringing on the iPhone users and high speed mobile internet. I am waiting to see how this plays out.

Thanks for keeping us informed Paul.
