Today’s guest is one of the great thought leaders in the Broadband Wireless/WiMAX industry, Mr. Jeff Thompson, Founder, CEO and President of Towerstream.  Jeff took the company public this year all while raising $55 Million for expansion. If you want to hear Jeff’s thoughts on the high-end business model as well as his take on the recent Sprint-Clearwire collaboration and more tune in!

Today we interview Todd Graetz the CEO of Montana-based TransAria (http://www.transaria.com/ ). TransAria is a very forward thinking Broadband Wireless ISP that really takes to heart the notion of being a service provider. If you want to hear how mid-size companies in the heartland of America are succeeding, this interview is for YOU.

The WiMAX domains www.wimaxmobile.com and www.wimaxfast.com are up for Sale! And we talk to their owner New Zealand’s Natcom about them. Our interview with CTO Rodney Prescott covers the New Zealand wireless market and WiMAX opportunities there. We also give details on how to bid for these valuable domains! Look forward to a fast-paced show filled not only with bid info but tons of insightful comments about the opportunities and pitfalls of a WiMAX deployment.

Tim is back with a terrific summary show of some of the top 2006 WiMax stories. He discusses the Sprint Nextel WiMax decision, the AT&T/BellSouth merger, the rise of Municipal Broadband, the AWS spectrum auction, industry consolidation and more. For the best in WiMax news and analysis tune in.

Tim and Tom have been away for a while. But Now we are back with our biggest, fastest, punchiest show yet. Literally a couple of dozen news topics of the past week are covered. And we do it fast. Net neutrality is a big hot button, Clearwire (88,000 subscribers) is getting big fast. The FCC AWS auction faces some challenges, The 802.20 Working Group is Suspended (at least for a while) and Much, Much MORE.

Just a quick note to our listeners. We apologize for being a bit slow in getting a new podcast up. Tom is dealing with some serious illness in his family and Tim has been extremely busy. We appreciate your understanding.

We will resume shows in the near future. We should have a spot up next week with Monica recapping her trips to India and Vienna for WiMAX World Europe. She promises a lot of good information. In the coming months look for some really interesting podcasts as we have been talking to a number of vendors and service providers about coming on the show.

Thanks again for your patience.

Tim and Tom
