- Clearwire Corporation (stylized as clearw˙re) is a wireless internet service provider (WISP) serving markets in the United States, Belgium, and Spain. Clearwire, founded by cellular phone pioneer Craig McCaw in October 2003 is headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. Clearwire primarily uses a 4G wireless technology called WiMAX transmitted from cell sites over licensed spectrum of 2.5–2.6 GHz in the U.S. On May 7, 2008, Clearwire and Sprint Nextel's wireless broadband unit Xohm announced their intent to merge, combining Sprint's 4G WiMAX network (Xohm) with Clearwire's existing pre-WiMAX broadband network. Sprint owns 54% of the firm, with ex-Clearwire shareholders owning 27% — a consortium of Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Intel, Google, and Bright House Networks invested $3.2 billion and own the balance. Clearwire and the cable companies will buy 3G mobile broadband from Sprint as MVNOs. Clearwire/Sprint Nextel officially launched Portland, Oregon as the first market using the new service. Today Clearwire's 4G service is branded CLEAR, except in those markets where the Clearwire name has already been established and where CLEAR service is not available. (However, it remains uncertain whether this new incarnation of Clearwire, controlled by Sprint, will still continue to offer the contractual conditions which have sparked class action lawsuits in the past. ) Today CLEAR 4G is available in 71 markets in the U.S. covering 130 million people. On March 9, 2009 Clearwire named Bill Morrow as CEO, succeeding Benjamin Wolff, who became Co-Chairman with Craig McCaw. Morrow, 49, stepped down as CEO of Pacific Gas & Electric Company. Morrow had previously held a number of senior positions at Vodafone. On December 31, 2010, McCaw resigned as Chairman of Clearwire and was replaced by John W. Stanton. On March 10, 2011, Bill Morrow resigned as CEO and was replaced by Interim CEO John W. Stanton.
