From the Graveyard
You just read about Sprint. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Clearwire built WiMAX and wireless broadband network operator. What became of it?
Clearwire brought WiMAX and wireless broadband network operator to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Sprint for US$5B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Sprint today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
