FreedomPop, the latest project of Skype co-founder Niklas Zennstrom, aims to disrupt the industry by providing free mobile broadband. The company announced this week that it would be partnering with wireless broadband provider Clearwire for the upcoming service, which it plans to launch in 2012.
Clearwire currently offers a fast and reliable 4G mobile broadband network that covers over 130 million people in the U.S. FreedomPop claims to be building a “new wave telecom company” that aims to provide disruptive voice and internet services to all Americans. Their strategic relationship will help to form an innovative 4G mobile broadband service in the U.S that is free of charge. Tony Miller, FreedomPop’s vice president of marketing, said:
FreedomPop’s ultimate goal of providing our customers with a free mobile broadband alternative will soon be realized thanks to Clearwire’s proven 4G network services. This agreement enables FreedomPop to offer a disruptive retail service, providing free, flexible, high-speed internet access to millions of Americans.
