Google is set to provide fee web search, interactive communications and social networking tools to Sprint’s next generation WiMax wireless data network. This is yet in another agreement from Google trying to firmly implant their presence into the mobile industry. This along with their interest to take part in the FCC wireless spectrum auction with a minimum required bid of $4.6bn they are determined to be part developer and provider, something that has made them what they are today.

With Sprint spending $3bn to build a nationwide 4G network that will dwarf anything its competition has planned they seem set on dominating the high speed wireless data business before T-Mobile or AT&T even have 3G. No matter the network or company Google has set its sight on on having the best of both worlds but one wonders after they become direct competitors if companies with be so eager to make deals for content.
