As in our domestic markets, we continue to evaluate the service plans offered in each of our international
markets. As we deploy our services in new markets internationally, the service plans in those markets may vary from
our current offerings based on factors such as the local competitive environment and the demands of the subscribers
we intend to target in that market.
Our international subscribers generally make payments through an automatic charge to their bank account,
credit card or debit card, which provides similar benefits as our domestic billing process.
Voice-over-Internet-Protocol Telephony Service
As a part of our plan to offer value-added services to increase subscriber demand and generate incremental
revenue from our wireless broadband subscribers, in April 2006, we began offering VoIP telephony services in a
limited number of our domestic markets, which we call Clearwire Internet Phone Service. As of December 31,
2007, we had launched our VoIP telephony services more broadly in 41 out of our 46 domestic markets. We plan to
introduce our VoIP telephony service in the remaining domestic markets in 2008. We continue to explore options for
deploying VoIP telephony services in our international markets, but we do not have specific plans to deploy VoIP
telephony services in those markets in the near term.
In our domestic VoIP markets, we are currently offering a single VoIP telephony service plan that provides
subscribers with unlimited local and long distance calling, including calls within the United States, Canada, and
Puerto Rico, for a fixed monthly fee of $34.99 per month with various promotional discounts available. Our VoIP
telephony service permits calls outside these countries on a charge-per-call basis. Our VoIP telephony service
package includes enhanced calling features such as voice mail, call waiting, 3-way calling and caller ID. In
addition, our subscribers can set a range of telephony options online, such as call forwarding and call blocking. We
provide optional email notification of voicemail messages through which a subscriber may choose to receive a
voicemail message attached as a file to an email message.
Our VoIP telephony service is facilities-based, which means that the service is provided across our network and
switches through infrastructure we control. We believe this allows us to deliver better average call quality than is
generally available on non facilities-based VoIP systems, while using less data capacity.
Future Mobile WiMAX Services
We expect to be able to offer services over our mobile WiMAX network in our new markets that we place in
commercial operation in the second half of 2008 and beyond similar to the fixed and portable wireless high-speed
Internet access and VoIP telephony services we currently offer our existing subscribers, but with a greater emphasis
on a mobile “true broadband” experience. We believe that manufacturers will have an interest in equipping a broad
array of handheld communications and consumer electronic devices with mobile WiMAX chipsets, which may
include notebook computers, UMPCs, PDAs, gaming consoles, MP3 players, and other productivity and
