<![CDATA[Intel Dumping $2 Billion Into WiMax - Gizmodo Comments]]> <![CDATA[Intel Dumping $2 Billion Into WiMax - Gizmodo Comments]]> <![CDATA[Intel Dumping $2 Billion Into WiMax]]> @aec007: Well i say why doesnt nextel break apart. They were doing way better without sprint.
A smarter move would be t-mobile buying sprint and adding all those frequencies and 3G technologies onto their network. Then the 4G technology rolling but out of Sprint's profit and clearwire.
I think that'd qualify as a monopoly tho. A joint wouldn't be smart because sprint is kind of a bad luck charm.
This is a lot like sony tho. If intel bought out sprint they'd be rolling in cash after they get the hang of having a cellular network. It'd be a real gamble though.

GIMME THE MONEY NOW!

I have spoken with three people who had tried the service in three different parts of the Seattle-Bellevue service area, with no joy. Either they couldn't maintain a connection with the network, or the speed was nowhere near what was advertised, ever.

All three have canceled, so if I correlate that with the massive dead-tree bombardment I receive from Clearwire every frickin' week in my mail slot, I am guessing they will need every penny of that $2B to float this lead balloon.
