Buys Into The World of the Wireless
Telephone® - The Clearwire Merger -
What make WiMax and WiFi
so important in the world of the Wireless
Telephone® -- and how will Sprint
MONETIZE their entry in the the WiMax 187 world of
antennas?
WiMax is similar to Wi-Fi
service found in coffee shops, airports and many
homes, but it is more powerful and able to cover
whole cities, in some
cases.
The
combination would create the fastest nationwide
wireless network for laptops, smart phones such as
BlackBerrys and other mobile devices, as well as
desktop computers and in-home electronics.
Sprint figuers to Partner in
with Clearwire on WiMax Venture -- how much are
they willing to Spend, (12-Billions or will it be
$3-Billion
What ever the amount is it
would help create the fastest nationwide network
for laptops, smart phones and the effects of other
Wireless Telephone® devices.
It was reported in May, by
the news media and made official that Sprint Nextel
Corp., will form the WiMax
venture
in partnering with
McCaw's Clearwire Corp.
Sprint said they would
combine its costly wireless broadband effort with a
smaller company founded by cellphone pioneer Craig
McCaw in a $12-billion venture to create a
communications company, to be called Clearwire,
that will continue developing a mobile network
based on WiMax technology.
Clearwir intends to offer
its high-speed mobile Internet service model, with
the help of some deep-pocketed
supporters,
and outside investors, which
includes Intel Corp., Internet Search engine Google
Inc., Comcast Corp., Time Warner Cable Inc. and
Bright House Networks, say they will put in a total
of $3.2 billion for the new company.
Clearwire also will receive
an investment from Trilogy Equity Partners, led by
U.S. wireless industry veteran John Stanton.

THE
EFFECTS OF THE MERGER The name of the
new venture wasn't disclosed at first ----- But it
was decided that the name would be
"Clearwire."
Sprint,
based in Overland Park, Kan., will own 51% of the
company. Existing shareholders in Clearwire Corp.,
a Kirkland, Wash., start-up founded by cellular
pioneer Craig McCaw, will receive a combined stake
of about 27%. And the investment group will have a
22%
stake.
Wall Street's reaction
was mixed, grateful that Sprint will be able to
focus on its struggling wireless service but
worried the deal may have too many moving parts to
be
successful.
"If new Clearwire
manages to avoid the massive channel conflicts it
will have with its strategic partners and executes
well -- both big challenges -- it has the potential
to create significant competition for incumbent
wireless and wire-line providers," Oppenheimer
& Co. analyst Tim Horan wrote in a research
note.
"However, it is not
entirely clear that this is their strategy," Horan
added.
Shares for Clearwire and
Sprint initially surged on the news Wednesday, but
Clearwire stock ended down 24 cents at $16.22 while
Sprint's fell 3 cents to $9.16.

GOOGLE'S
PART IN THE WIMAX
VENTURE
While Sprint would own
the majority of the venture, the operation would be
steered by McCaw, who would serve as chairman, and
Clearwire Chief Executive Ben Wolff, who would take
the same position at the venture, they said.
Details on how and when
the technology would be brought to the marketplace
weren't clear, but analysts said they presumed that
the cable companies were interested because they
would get the right to sell the high-speed wireless
Internet access in a package with pay TV, cellphone
and home phone service.
Google's
involvement, hinged on the venture agreeing to let
any device and any service use the network when it
emerged, according to a person familiar with the
terms of its investment.
That follows Google's
success in getting federal regulators to declare
another chunk of the high-speed airwave spectrum
open to ... form of consumer
use.
Both actions result from
Google's opposition to the traditional wireless
model, in which carriers dictate what phones and
what services are permitted to interact over their
networks.
Google wants to make
sure consumers can access Google's search, mail and
other services while on the go. It is also
developing an operating system for mobile phones
that has attracted wide interest from the
carriers.

Corp., a leading WiMax
proponent, and cable TV
company Comcast Corp. would put in about $1 billion
each, and Google and Time Warner Cable Inc. would
chip in about $500 million each, the three people
said. All of the companies declined to
comment.
The broader support from
cable companies removes one of the clouds hanging
over Sprint, which has been distracted by a variety
of operational and financial
issues.
Sprint's
as mentioned above in
2 arrangement with
Clearwire, based in Kirkland, Wash., had been the
subject of protracted negotiations over the size of
the investments and control of the company because
it would unite the efforts of companies that might
compete in distributing high-speed
services.
The new financing, deal
would make it much more likely that more consumers
issussed new phone numbers, would have access to
high-speed, roaming Internet connections sooner
than if Sprint had continued on its
own.
"The agreement enables
us to get to market faster and reach a broader
audience than we could have if we went alone," said
Dan Hesse, Sprint's chief
executive.
Sprint
announced a mammoth $30-billion charge in January
stemming from its much-plagued acquisition of
Nextel in
2005.
This week, Sprint has
been reported as studying a sale of Nextel and as
being a possible acquisition target for German
telecommunications giant Deutsche
Telekom.
