Google Getting Ready To Partner With Clearwire On Wireless Spectrum Licenses?
Nov 12, 2007 at 8:00am ET by Greg Sterling
Last week Forbes wrote that Google will “definitely” participate, according to CEO Eric Schmidt, in the upcoming 700MHZ wireless spectrum auction. Also last week, Google partner Sprint said that it was ending its relationship with wireless broadband provider Clearwire to build a nationwide WiMax network. (Sprint is a member of the Android Open Handset Alliance.) Now the Seattle Times speculates that Clearwire may try and team up with Google for the 700MHZ auction. It’s almost a given that Google would try and partner with another company rather than go it alone. Assuming Google does bid in the auction it will be interesting to see who that partner is.
