But what if you could connect your laptop to the Internet while hanging out at the beach to send a wish-you-were here e-mail to your mom? Or what if you were watching a game at Wrigley Field and wanted to search the Web for the next batter's on-base percentage versus left-handed pitchers when facing a 3-1 count?

Sprint Nextel and Clearwire today said that they will merge their wireless broadband units into a new $14.55 billion company called Clearwire. Five heavyweight companies have announced they're investing in the venture.

WiMax promises faster downloads than today's Internet-connected cell phones and would free on-the-go surfers from Wi-Fi hotspots. I think it's the dream Internet. I don't know how soon it's coming, but the deal has been approved by boards of all the companies involved, and it is set to close by the end of the year.
