Clearwire sneaks WiMAX into Las Vegas, won't admit it until Summer

by Ross Miller posted Jun 10th 2009 at 3:51AM

Clearwire's been slowly planting its WiMAX seeds around the country, and with nary a peep, it's rolled out the service into the Las Vegas area, designated by the image above. According to a company rep, the "official" launch -- including new store openings and a marketing blitz -- will begin this summer, but for now, it's operational and ready for those in the know. Portland and Atlanta vacationers, you can now watch your online bank account dwindle faster than you ever could before.

So when the nerds get rejected by the hot prostitute they can jump on the one or two devices that support WiMAX, yay!

If you do something in Vegas, and go soft, then you gotta find a different city.
