WiMax, I told ya so.

WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology that provides wireless data in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access.

So what this means the mobile network that your current cell phone uses to surf the internet, download ringers, screen savers and music will soon be upgraded to a network that is capable of delivering true broad band (like your cable modem, dsl or work network) speeds over an extremely large area (as long ‘re you’re in coverage).

When WiMax was revealed to be the next network that Sprint planned on building for mobile broadband I told everyone (at least anyone that would listen) that Google was going to either by the WiMax network or Sprint all together.

Well Google didn’t buy Sprint nor the Wimax network but G (google) did drop a nice chunk of change towards the new company that was formed when Sprint Spun off WiMax in a partnership with Clearwire.

The reason why I feel as though this is important is because these companies that are forming & backing this technology want everyone connected at any given time in place.

The main companies investing in the Wimax Network are:
Google
Comcast
Time Warner
Intel

Tomorrow I must:

  • Go through and tag all the documents that I’ve created so far.
  • Write about WiMax or the iPhone/Samsung Instinct
  • Listen to a genius speak.

    I have listened to 50 Cent’s music since he came out with the song Ghetto Koran and I guess you could call me a fan.

    However what I’m most impressed with by Mr. Jackson is his ability to not only brand himself but continue to grow his business in from an industry that continues to shrink.

    The following video is an interview with Fortune magazine and 50 Cent, the man has an amazing business mind, enjoy.

    “If you stay in a space where you’re at the roof of what’s going on, you can feel like you’ve done something you didn’t do.” – 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson)
