  • Clearwire Corporation (stylized as "clearw˙re" in the logo) is a wireless broadband Internet service provider (ISP) serving markets in the United States, Ireland, Belgium, Spain, Denmark (with Danske Telecom) and Mexico (via MVSNet). Clearwire was founded by cellular phone pioneer Craig McCaw in October 2003 and headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. Clearwire traditionally uses wireless technology, dubbed Pre-WiMax, transmitted from cell sites over licensed spectrum of 2.5-2.6 GHz in the U.S. and 3.5 GHz in Europe. 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 will own 51% of the firm, with ex-Clearwire shareholders owning 27% — a consortium of Comcast, Time Warner, Intel, Google, and Bright House will invest $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. It is branded simply "Clear". Clearwire is now implementing WiMAX 802.16e networks in many markets, with the largest to date being the greater metropolitan Atlanta market. Clearwire on March 9, 2009 named Bill Morrow as CEO, succeeding Benjamin Wolff, who became co-Chairman with Craig McCaw. Morrow, 49, over the summer stepped down as CEO of Pacific Gas & Electric. Before that, he had a number of senior positions at Vodafone.
