Clearwire's WiMAX ordained with official Atlanta launch

by Ross Miller posted Jun 16th 2009 at 2:21AM

Sure, Clearwire has actually been running its WiMAX network in Atlanta for six weeks already, but that technicality isn't stopping the company from deciding now is the time to "launch" the service in the metro area, with an appropriately-sized marketing blitz to boot. Portland travelers already using the service should feel at home now with their own personal 4G network to keep them company while they engorge on the recommended dosage of Chik-Fil-A sandwiches and Varsity chili dogs. Prices are identical to what we've already heard and, yes, even though the company just quietly launched the service in Las Vegas, expect to see the delayed red carpet rollout for that city sometime later this Summer.

Wonder when they'll start transitioning over to LTE. The base stations they are installing are capable of WiMax and LTE, so the rollout isn't all a waste.

Highly Ranked

Please remind me again, in what cities has LTE rolled out?

Ack. The "coming soon" zone ends about 2 miles from my house. There's a Clear booth at Perimeter Mall where they have tower locations (including coming soon) overlaid on Google Earth. 2 miles. Looks like I'm stuck with Comcrap for the foreseeable future, no DSL either.
