This would be very interesting to my Sprint stock and would accelerate NV buildout even more!

Very interesting indeed.

Pfft... We have been saying that on this site and others for years. Throw in Apple and Microsoft and you got some traction.

How does this equate to faster a build out of NV?

[JeffDTD]

It won't equate to anything that has been planned happening much faster.

 

But it will equate to more funding to adequately maintain the network... and possibly cause network expansion.

 

Good for Sprint, good for the american wireless consumer.

You know this is idle speculation, right?

[dmelling]

That is why I said "would"...

Don't know about the Amazon part but the Google part....

Did google ever sell its share of clearwire?

[twospirits]

Interesting indeed. But didn't Google give up it stake in Clear last year?

Maybe they want in again.

[cavendano]

Yes it was part of the article...lol

"Google had been a Clearwire shareholder but sold its stake in the company early in 2012 for a $433.5 million loss on its 2008 investment of $500 million. "

[twospirits]

lol I guess I skipped that part.
