Google among those who back WiMAX

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 10 May 2008

Google, Intel, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks, all major US-based companies, are in the process of pooling $3.2 billion to start a new company called Clearwire.

The purpose or goal of Clearwire (the new company with the same name as the existing Clearwire) will be to roll out a nationwide WiMAX network in the US (United States). Clearwire will be a combination of the WiMAX networks of Sprint Nextel and existing WiMAX spectrum owner, Clearwire. The roleplayers involved want to radically change mobile Internet use by making sure that users enjoy reliable fast Internet access even when they are not at home or out of office. WiMAX makes Internet on-the-go possible at broadband speeds.

For example: A user will be able to take a taxi to lake Michigan, or anywhere else in the US for that matter, and enjoy fast Internet access all the way and back.
