I can envision a future where Intel decides to roll-out its own network. There's still some spectrum open from the transition to digital TV. Maybe Intel is eying creating its own data/telephony network that will work only with Intel systems. Intel is shrinking down their Atom, they're buying a network security firm, and now they've bought a wireless technology company. Maybe this new network will be used to control Intel's vast robotic army as they tear through cities and towns, destroying the human population in Intel's quest for world dominance. People like to compare Google to Skynet, but I'm thinking Google lacks the hardware touch.
Of course, maybe Intel just plans to start making their own cell-phones, rather than trying to convince other companies to use the Atom processor. That sounds simpler, but not dominant enough for an Intel pursuit.
