CLEARWIRE HAS SAID IT WILL LAUNCH its WiMax wireless broadband service in 80 markets and reach as many as 120 million people by the end of 2010.

Nine US cities will get the service this year including Las Vegas, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas-Fort Worth, Seattle, Honolulu and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Next year, Clearwire will start commercial service in other large metropolitan areas, including New York, Boston, Houston and the San Francisco Bay area. µ

Sprint / Nextel

I've heard that Sprint / Nextel will be replacing their EVDO services with what they call "4G" - According to my source, this data service will be provided by "Clear" (formerly "Clearwire)

Nothing to see here...move along.

Fantastic news for the same 120 million people who already have access to some form of high-speed internet (dsl, cable, fios, wifi, cellular data, satellite, etc). Now that the market is thoroughly saturated with alternatives for the fortunate few, why don't they start thinking about the other 320 million people in the US who often live within a few miles of major metropolitan areas but only have access to dialup?

Amen

Some of us live outside the wired world and would love to pay for a good alternative to satellite or dialup. Pings under 2,000 would be REALLY NICE.
