Sprint Nextel's WiMax network could be the proof-of-concept the technology needs to take off. Last week, WiMax service provider Clearwire raised $600 million through an IPO, but the company's share price continues to decline as the market has soured on the service provider's prospects. Some wireless industry insiders claim that if Clearwire flops it could negatively affect the future of WiMax.
