What does the Sprint-Clearwire deal mean for consumers?
Clearwire and Sprint Nextel are resurrecting their plan to build a new super-high-speed mobile Internet network. A similar deal fell apart last year, but this time it's backed by big-time investors including Google, Comcast, Time Warner.
Sprint Nextel and Clearwire will combine their wireless broadband units to create a $14.5 billion communications company that will develop a mobile network based on a technology called WiMax. It's like Wi-Fi but the signals travel much farther and can blanket entire cities.
