In between October 2008 and May 2010, Intel had actually signed up with forces with Clearwire, Sprint, Motorola and other partners to release WiMAX in about 30 U.S. cities. Intel's vision for the release of WiMAX progressed from repaired wireless (for broadband connection to homes and businesses) to portable wireless (laptop computers) to mobile wireless (portable gadgets and high-end mobile phones), as the business invested billions of dollars on acquisitions and financial investments in the WiMAX arena.
