Sprint, Google team up on WiMAX mobile internet services

Filed under:

It’s no secret that Google’s quite interested in getting intermingled with the mobile internet crowd, and shortly after Sprint wrapped up a deal with Clearwire, the carrier has now inked yet another pact with a search giant. The deal, hailed as a “milestone” in Sprint’s mobile internet strategy, will purportedly seek to “establish an internet destination for user-generated content and multimedia offerings.” More specifically, Barry West (president of 4G Mobile Broadband for Sprint) noted that “Google and Sprint will optimize the internet experience for the digital lifestyle,” and suggested that the agreement would wed the “best mobile internet network with the leading internet search company.” Unfortunately, the nitty gritty we crave seems to be absent at the moment, but until the two start putting their heads together, we’ll just have to believe Google when it promises a “rich and compelling broadband experience for WiMAX customers.”
