Clearwire, DirecTV and EchoStar - WiMAX Powered content and services

EchoStar and DirecTV will access Clearwire's wireless high-speed network to market Clearwire services to their residential customers.

Clearwire's stock rose 23 percent - this is real close to its initial IPO pricing of $25 a share. This makes them a good take over target - even though they have a high debt load. This combined partnership will allow Clearwire, DirecTV and EchoStar to really try out WiMAX for market reception. News Corp and their majority-owned DirecTV business may finally be able to leverage Clearwire to set up a nationwide WiMAX network to deliver interactive broadband to sell content, goods, advertising and services directly to consumers. he
