I want freedompop to succeed, but I have trouble seeing their vision in a world without lightsquared. A lot of us in the Telecom industry had high hopes for low-orbit satellite but it wasn't meant to be.
Even though Freedompop has had to go to market without the crazy low lightsquared pricing, they found an ally in Clearwire who has nothing but excess capacity. Ergo, freedompop gets a data rate they can resell at high margin.
I want them to win but VoIP over 3G is hard. Very curious about what infrastructure they're using to do the VoIP calls and whether there's going to be a proper switch in the core.
