Google's In With WiMAX Consortium

On May 7th, Sprint Nextel Corporation and Clearwire announced a new $14.5 billion venture that would renew Sprint's ambitions to build a national mobile network utilizing WiMAX technology to bring faster wireless Internet service (up to 70 Mbps) to an area that covers several miles (up to 30 miles). Sprint first announced plans to create a mobile WiMAX network more than two years ago, however, challenges facing its cell phone business and acquisition of Nextel have distracted the company from the project. The new venture brings together Clearwire and Sprint's WiMAX spectrum and networks with XOHM, Sprint's WiMAX services business unit. The new company, called Clearwire, will also include a $3.2 billion investment from Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Intel, Google and Bright House Networks.

New Clearwire Won't Use Google Fiber

I was never much for the annoying and persistent rumor that Google was going to become a national broadband provider. Every time the company bought fiber, hired a networking expert (like TCP/IP co-creator Vint Cerf) or invested in the 700Mhz auction -- people assumed they wanted to become Google, the ISP. The truth is that Google was always interested in just one thing: selling advertisements and beefing up their infrastructure. As additional proof: Now that Google has directly invested $500 million into the new Clearwire WiMax joint-venture, the company won't even be allowing the new company to piggyback on their vast fiber links.

Sprint-Clearwire: Googles Role Too Big? Pay-For-Access Deal Raises Net Neutrality-Like Concerns

Over the last year, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has made its presence known in the wireless industry, not for its applications, but instead, for its position on open access. The Internet giant has been extremely vocal, arguing that wireless networks should be more like the Internet—they should be available to all devices and applications. In fact, the argument was so compelling, the FCC took action by saying that a swath of airwaves Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) bought in the recent auction must be open to all devices and applications. But now, Google is investing $500 million as part of the $14.5 billion deal between Sprint (NYSE: S) Nextel and Clearwire (NSDQ: CLWR)—and in return it is getting tremendous access, not only to the WiMax network, but also to Sprint’s existing cellular network, putting into question how open the two networks wil

Google's Deep Thoughts On Clearwire, By Jack Handey

Since it tossed $500 million into Clearwire, a new mobile WiMax company, Google decided it was due a few words. In a post on the Official Google Blog, you'll see such words as: "choice", "freedom", "open", "excited", "embrace", and -- my favorite -- "competitively-neutral network management". Uh. Say what?

Legal troubles could threaten Sprint/Clearwire deal

Sprint Nextel's plan to spin off its WiMax network and form a $14.5 billion joint venture with Clearwire may have hit a speed bump.

Why Google Invested in Clearwire

Google (GOOG) wants to usher in the world of wireless broadband so much that it is willing to spend vast sums to make it happen. It bid more than $4.6 billion in the recent FCC spectrum auctions (which it ended up not having to pay because it lost to Verizon)(VZ), is backing the WiFi 2.0 initiative, and today it announced that it plunked down $500 million to shore up the new Clearwire-Sprint WiMax business.
