This project hits a bit close to home for me. In a former life, I sold Clearwire services throughout the Seattle area as an owner of Ascent Marketing. Their service was great! In fact, I know Seattle Digital Signage is currently using the Clearwire service in their Taxi Cab Digital Signage Network, installed in a majority of the city's taxis.
Recently Clearwire announced they'll be teaming with some of the largest telecom giants for a 4G internet deployment. In addition, they've received funding from quite a few sources as well:
Clearwire received the $3.2 billion investment from some of the most innovative communications, entertainment, and technology companies in the world, including: Comcast, Intel through Intel Capital, Time Warner Cable, Google, and Bright House Networks, and, as previously announced, will receive an additional investment from Trilogy Equity Partners in the coming months.The new venture known simply as "Clear" will replace the former push for 4G Internet known as "Xhom" (I personally never liked the term Xhom anyway).
The opportunities here will benefit companies across the map for content and data delivery and exchange, digital signage being only one...
