Wow, you sound really ignorant right now. How about you brush up on some Clear knowledge. All those 320 other people you speak about is also a target market. "Everyone" is a target market not just big cities as contrary to your belief. If your not in a metropolitan area than the 4G plus is the way to go. It is backed up by Sprints 3G network allowing users to roam outside of 4G and still be protected by 3G service. And unlike other internet services out there CLEAR is 5x fatser and simpler.It is also mobile. No wires needed. Installation takes 2minutes. On top of that the prices are cheaper. Sometimes even 30 dollars less than the competition so before you go talking about things you are not well informed on, go to you neighborhood clear store and test there internet service. You can bring your laptop and test their demo equipment. Trust me you will be surprised how fast you can download data and not be interupted. You won't be disappointed and come out a believer. 4G is new age technology and if your not getting that kinda of service you might aswell watch videos on you VCR play nintendo 64 and listen to you tapes in your car. Watch clear is the internt of the future as you will all see soon!!!
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.
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?
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)
