North America WiMAX dead? Hardly...

According to Reuters, quoting an online report by the Wall Street Journal (yes, parse that one out), Sprint and Clearwire are back at the table talking about a joint WiMAX venture.

Supposedly the deal could bring in funding from Intel (knew it!), Google (OK) and Best Buy (Hmmm) to help lower the price tag of the buildout.

Right now, allegedly Sprint and Clearwire are in "serious talks" on a plan to spin off Sprint's WiMAX unit and merge it with Clearwire... which would leave Sprint with... what? And Clearwire hasn't exactly been a cash cow, if you know what I mean.
