WiMax nation wide deployment in the US has risen again, this time with added force in the form of Cable Companies like Comcast and Time Warner whom discovered new interest in backing WiMax. According to the Wall Street Journal, Comcast could put in over a Billion dollars while Time Warner would only shed out USD$500 million. Cable Companies are not the only ones backing WiMax, the God like hands of Google are also in the mix, you can bet Android will benefit, followed by the OHA member Intel who are masters of bridging the gap between the internet and the Speed of Light. All these big name companies will work with Sprint another OHA member who will be the one providing the service throughout the United States. From Article: Big money may be lining up behind WiMax and a network rollout across the country to support it. Sprint and Clearwire fumbled around with this for months, like a teen couple on prom night in the back of a Honda Fit. As in uncomfortably. However, the Wall Street Journal says Comcast and Time Warner discovered a newfound interest in backing WiMax. Comcast could kick in up to a billion dollars, while Time Warner would scrape $500 million together. Since phone companies started competing with cable to offer television, it seems the cable companies want to fight back. Sprint needs to solidify its business, as it has fallen behind Verizon and AT&T in subscribers. The timing seems perfect to give WiMax a kick in the rear and get it moving. [Source: WebProNews]
