Google kicks WiMax goal
The third-largest US wireless carrier Sprint-Nextel yesterday said it had chosen Google to provide web search, email, instant messaging and other online tools to subscribers of the country’s first nationwide WiMax wireless network that Sprint is currently building.
Google’s wares will be featured on a Sprint-hosted online portal to its forthcoming WiMax network, which will launch next April. They will include Google’s mobile web search and services, GTalk, Gmail and Google Calendar, said Sprint spokesperson John Polivka.
We know Google has launched several new mobile applications but having limited success in getting some of the service offered through wireless carriers. So this make Sprint’s WiMax homepage will be valuable real estate for new Google mobile apps.
