POWER 2006 HOME

> Communications Craig McCaw TITLE Founder & co-CEO COMPANY Clearwire         NETWORK WORLD’S 2006 PICKS FULL LIST NEXT >> Since founding McCaw Cellular Communications (acquired by AT&T in 1994 for $11.5 billion), McCaw’s name has been synonymous with wireless pioneer. Today, that manifests itself in his latest project, Clearwire, the 3-year-old wireless Internet access company that stands out for its use of WiMAX, a fixed wireless technology supporting 1.5Mbps downstream transmissions and 256Kbps upstream. McCaw could be credited as one of the most powerful driving forces behind WiMAX — his company touts 162,000 customers as of September. Lately McCaw’s pioneering spirit has led him to mobile WiMAX; in July, Clearwire began collaborating with Intel and Motorola to push the technology’s development and deployment.
