This tidy sum between DirectTV , EchoStar ( DISH ’s parent ) , and Clearwire ( a WiMAX service provider ) seems to be the first big solid WiMAX push button in the US , if everything goes to plan . In the agreement two giving artificial satellite goggle box provider will get a broadband service of process of their own — something they plain think they need to compete with cable and DSL — and Clearwire ’s WiMAX will get some large exposure to the public .
With its WiMAX service , Clearwire targets two markets : those who are out of the reach of pumped up broadband armed service and those who are look for an option to cable and DSL provider . The bundled service is inteded to make its offering more attractive to the latter group .
Seems like a engagement of two disjoined interests combining for their mutual benefit . Kind of like how Slowpoke and Shellder combine to take form Slowbro , which help both of them . Holy shit , did I just compare satellite TV and WiMAX to Pokemon ?
