"Murdoch and TV-Over-WiMAX
A few months ago,
Robert Young had said that Rupert Murdoch will and should be very interested in fixed wireless technologies.
Subsequent media reports and
aggressive (and failed) bids for spectrum in the recent Advanced Wireless Spectrum (AWS) auctions indicate that the wily old fox and his company are seriously interested in life beyond satellite.
There hasn’t been much concrete proof of his plans, but today we did discover another little gem which indicates that News Corp. is very interested in WiMAX."
