Clearwire, which hopes to install WiMax networks that will cover continents, announced on Wednesday that it has received US$900 million in financing from Intel and Motorola and will work with the two giants to popularise the wireless broadband technology.
Compaq Computer's announcement that it will use Intel's Itanium chips in its high-end servers and transfer its Alpha chip expertise to Intel represents a dramatic overhaul of the market. As a result, just three major chip designs are left to compete: Intel's Itanium, Sun Microsystems' UltraSparc and IBM's Power.
Carriers have barely rolled out their new third-generation wireless networks, and they're already talking about the fourth generation, which could offer affordable high-speed Internet access for consumer electronics devices on the go.
Sun Microsystems easily topped the consensus analyst estimate in the fourth quarter and raised its sales expectations for the next fiscal year.
