I never heard anything like that, only that clearwire "merged" with sprint's wimax. Meaning both share it?

Kirkland, Washington-based Clearwire said today that its stockholders have approved the company's plan to merge with Sprint's mobile WiMax business. According to Clearwire, the stockholders also approved a $3.2B investment by Intel, Google, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks and Trilogy Partners in the firm, which will continue to be known as Clearwire. Clearwire is deploying a nationwide wireless network based on the WiMax wireless standard, which has a much larger range than existing Wi-Fi equipment. The firm said it is working to close the transaction before the end of the year. The deal was originally announced in May.

Re: Bad news for Sprint...

Imagine if Sprint was bought out by Google and incorporated into Google's mindest of innovation for the people.

yeah no kiddin. Traffic around here is HORRIBLE. Try visiting Potomac mills on black friday LOL.

AT&T coverage where i work (in warrenton) is actually better than sprint's. The guy next door to me has at&t and his phone gets calls constantly.

VZ Daily 32.30 -0.50 -1.52% Verizon

We should have a PPCGEEKS DC meeting sometime...

I get good Sprint coverage everywhere I go (Alexandria, DC, Bowie) except the Metro... Even in Roaming it drops all the time...

Re: Bad news for Sprint...

I think Sprint will survive, but they need Wi-Max to be successful.. If Android can be updated so it can connect to Wi-Max, that would help..
