We
knew Clearwire would be snaking its 4G services to
select markets in North Carolina, Hawaii and Texas before the year's end, but it's always reassuring to hear a corporation come right out and affirm that those leaked dates are still solid. What's interesting about the latest announcement is that both
Clearwire and
Sprint will be offering 4G in these same cities under their own brands, even though the signals and towers used will be the same. Starting next month, WiMAX will officially land in Greensboro and Raleigh, North Carolina (Charlotte is already lit up, despite these companies' claims) and Austin; Dallas/Fort Worth; San Antonio, Texas. In December, the companies will get things fired up in Honolulu and Maui, two areas where we're certain techs from Sprint / Clearwire are more than eager to go "test things out." So, now that this has all panned out, how's about another leak sheet for 2010 rollouts?

@ Tony F.
Oh indeed it is fast, I've had service now for nearly 2wks, and two times I've hit 14mbps!!! I live in Las Vegas, NV. There are places that speeds are better, but generally speaking the speeds are what Clear advertises them to be, between 3-6mbps with burst up to 10, I can testify that on occasion MORE than 10mbps!!! And the $40/mo that I'm paying is very, very reasonable, and it is indeed unlimited, unlike stupid ATT & Verizon's loser 3G speeds that cost $20 more per month than what Clear charges and has a very UNusable 5gb data limit.
I swear, if I had money, I'd buy stock in CLWR, cause we all know 2yrs from now it's going to go up, haven't a clue how much up, but it will.
