Excerpt from Good Day, BWIA - Monday on Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA) / WiMAX News:
Rich Tehrani Says Maybe. I say No Way. Sprint Nextel is nothing resembling a strategic fit for Google - it's in all the wrong businesses to complement Google's core competence of Internet-based services accessible via Broadband Internet Access, such as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), voice-centric technology, dealing with retail customers, etc. But Google could buy Clearwire. Their stock is cheap from the shellacking Clearwire took after last week's announcement that Sprint Nextel wouldn't be proceeding with a strategic partnership for both parties to build out complementary Mobile WiMAX networks on their respective 2.5 GHz spectrum. Clearwire's in the "do whatever you want with your Internet connectivity" business using (soon) designed-for-Internet Mobile WiMAX technology.
