NextWeb and SkyPipeline To Merge - US$25M BWIA Deal

NextWeb and SkyPipeline will merge their operations in Northern and Southern California after an extended period as partners in a marketing and "roaming" agreement for BWIA services (with a third company SkyRiver Communications) called SkyWeb Alliance. The overall value of the merger is reported to be US$25M. This article states that the combined companies have 2,000 business customers in 120 cities. NextWeb itself is a creation of a number of mergers and acquisitions of smaller BWIA Service Providers. including Worldwide Wireless Networks, about which I wrote an influential Wireless Data Developments column in Boardwatch Magazine several years ago.

  • About Steve Stroh

    In 1996, I was fascinated to discover that providing Internet Access via license-exempt wireless technologies was not only possible, but being done routinely by a small band of pioneering Internet Service Providers.

    By mid-1997, I was writing professionally about Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA) as a monthly columnist in Boardwatch Magazine.

    In 2000, I began writing about BWIA full time in my own blogs, for numerous other publications, and my own subscription newsletter.

    From 2008 - 2015, I took a hiatus from writing about BWIA, but my interest in BWIA did not wane. From 2016 - 2020 I worked to resume writing full time.
