There was good news for users of mobile devices this week when Sprint and Clearwire resurrected their plan to build a nationwide WiMax network.

WiMax is, in essence, a bigger version of Wi-Fi, and could blanket an entire city with its signal.  It will allow for faster Internet uploading and downloading in wireless devices.

Other partners in the project are Intel, Google, Comcast, Time Warner, and Bright House Networks.  But the majority owner of endeavor will be Sprint — further proof that Sprint is doing all it can to enhance the tools available for folks who use mobile phones and similar gadgets (i.e., just about everyone).

Sprint, by the way, is the official telecommunications partner of ProFootballTalk.  You can support PFT by supporting Sprint — clicking the ads on this page will get you started.
