Intel is now investing in service providers to push the adoption of WiMAX. Intel Capital, the venture capital division of Intel, has formed a joint venture with ISP Pipex Communications in London to create Pipex Wireless, a company that plans to offer WiMAX to enterprises and governments, including citywide wireless access networks. Intel Capital is investing $25 million in the company while Pipex has transferred its U.K. rights to spectrum at 3.6-GHz to the joint venture. We could see many more JVs like this. I wonder if it wasn't for Intel pushing WiMAX integration in laptops and investing in vendors and operators, would we see a WiMAX market at all? Article
