Well here’s some interesting news. Best Buy has inked a deal that will allow them to use Clearwire’s wireless network. Starting in 2011, Best Buy will offer a new 4G option for their newly launched Best Buy Connect broadband service, which connects computers wirelessly to the internet using Sprint’s 3G network. This will allow Best Buy to sell wireless services directly to consumers.
Clearwire Chief Executive Bill Morrow has said that Clearwire is in talks with a wide range of companies, including other operators, with a view toward created more deals like what they have with Best Buy.
What are your thoughts on this? Best Buy as an ISP? I’m not sure how well that will go over. Spend a few minutes Googling “geek squad” and you’d be appalled with some of the horror stories that pop up. I’m not sure I’d want these guys controlling my internet access. But anyway, voice your thoughts in the comments.
