| They never said that.
When did Google, Intel, Microsoft, et al. ever say they were planning on building their own wireless network?
That's not their core business. Their business is dependent on their customers having broadband access, as it ultimately drives revenue for them. Which is why they're using lobbying muscle to see that a 'third pipe' comes to fruition, which would provide more broadband availability and competition. Their motives for supporting this are pretty clear.
While they're unlikely to build their own wireless network, that doesn't mean they won't fund companies that will. Case in point, the Intel investment in Clearwire. |
