5:15 PM -- What do you think? I didn't lead with the $17.5 billon and 30 million customers in 2017 prediction for my Clearwire LLC (Nasdaq: CLWR) story simply because a revenue prediction nine years in the future seems like extreme crystal balling.

Maybe it's an easy number for investors and potential investors to digest? It just seems to me that there will be a lot more solid financial and technical aspects about Clearwire we can watch that will provide an indication of the state of the business than a revenue prediction that is nearly a decade away.
