I recall reading on here that cable companies have worked iwth Sprint in the past for local loops. So why not now? Also, Clearwire really doesn't need Google's help with dark fiber etc. sprintLink's network is high-capacity and nationwide already, and the cable companies can probably do the "last mile" to the towers.
You are right. Comcast and TW are also investors in this venture and I expect that they will use their local infrastructure to provide links to the Wimax towers.

Sprint has a pretty vast intra-city fiber network and could offer Clearwire the same thing as Google. The ILEC still needs to provide a local loop to the tower or some indy fiber operator.... and maybe... just maybe the cable company!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20516515 Wed, 21 May 2008 09:54:47 EDT
