Intel Is All For Muni Broadband (Just So Long As They Use WiMax)

from the ah,-right,-the-details dept

In a move that is likely to surprise absolutely no one, Intel is going to make a public statement suggesting that there's nothing wrong with muni broadband, and that service providers should work together with local governments to come up with reasonable solutions to offer broadband. Basically, Intel knows that the more competition there is, the more demand there should be for alternate solutions, such as WiMax, and that means more sales for Intel. In a world where there's just one or two providers, they might (gasp!) go with solutions that don't lead back to Intel's pockets. Even worse, those solutions may not be all that interesting to consumers, meaning fewer people buying new computers and devices with chips that Intel sells.
