Clearwire Bringing WiMax to 10 New Markets

So far, Clearwire has only launched WiMax 4G mobile services in Baltimore, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Portland Oregon, but the company keeps saying it plans to activate additional markets in the near future. Today, the company announced ten more locations that are in line for WiMax services, with two online today and eight more coming September 1. But they aren’t exactly major metropolitan areas: Bellingham, Washington and Boise Idaho get their WiMax today, while eight Texas markets—including Abilene, Amarillo, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, Midland/Odessa, Killeen/Temple, Waco, and Wichita Falls—are set to be activated September 1.

Clearwire says the Las Vegas service area covers about 1.7 million people over 638 square miles.

“Wile it’s true that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, now, thanks to Clear, that doesn’t mean it has to stay in one place,” said Jeremy Abler, General Manager of Las Vegas market for Clearwire. “Clear will bring to Las Vegas residents the super-fast mobile internet experience they’re used to having at home or the office, anywhere around town, or on the go.”

Comcast Goes Wireless: Plans to Resell WiMax Services

Comcast Goes Wireless: Plans to Resell WiMax Services

Cable giant Comcast—which, incidentally, now claims to be the third largest provider of residential phone service in the U.S.—is reportedly making plans to bundle and resell WiMax mobile broadband as part of its service offerings, beginning in Portland, Oregon. According to The Oregonian, the cable company is eyeing a mid-year launch for the service, and will likely bundle it in with its existing cable television, Internet, voice, and mobile services—in theory, that could make Comcast’s service offering in the Portland area a “quintuple play,” encompassing up to five consumer services in one package (and on one bill).
