★ Clearwire Sued Over Throttling Practices

via Broadbrand Reports:

“Clearwire’s practice is akin to a bandwidth Ponzi scheme in the sense that Clearwire advertises and sells a service, knowing in advance that there is no way it can provide such service on an ongoing basis — i.e., Clearwire sells subscriptions prior to build-out of sufficient infrastructure to support the “High Speed Internet” it advertises. Someday, if Clearwire sells enough subscriptions, it may have sufficient funds to go back and create the infrastructure to support its Internet service and make good on its promises.”

This is a bad way of doing business but Unlimited is never the case with any of these services. If you think you’re getting unlimited from any service provider in 2011, you’re naive.
