More than 30 embedded 4G devices are now available, including embedded 4G
netbook and notebook computers, and later this year we expect to have a smart
phone on our 4G network.
Strong Business Outlook
In 2010, we expect to expand our 4G network to reach up to 120 million people
by the end of the year. Planned 4G markets include New York, Los Angeles,
Boston, Washington D.C., Houston, San Francisco, Miami, Denver, Minneapolis,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Salt Lake City, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City
along with dozens of others. The up to 120 million population coverage
represents 67 percent of GDP of the United States and covers 337 of the
Fortune 500 Companies.
During 2010, we expect to triple our ending 2009 subscriber base of
approximately 688,000 subscribers. We also expect the retail cost-per-
gross-add (CPGA)2 to remain consistent with 2009 levels due to a signifi cant
number of market launches. In addition, we expect retail average-revenue-
per-user (ARPU)2 to remain fl at. Clearwire also expects to have full year
2010 net cash spend between $2.8 billion to $3.2 billion.
Clearwire Named to the Top 10 List of Most Innovative
Mobile Companies by Fast Company
In early 2010, Clearwire was selected by Fast Company magazine as one
of the top ten most innovative mobile companies. The list includes the
likes of Google, Apple, HTC, Ford, Qualcomm, Evernote and now Clearwire.
As shareholders of this company, we hope that you share our pride in
this recognition.
Network of Networks
Clearwire currently has wholesale relationships with Sprint, Comcast and
Time Warner Cable, who collectively have over 100 million customers. Going
forward, we expect to attract other parties interested in using our network
capacity to serve their customer needs.
