Re: Small towns! Why not Austin, Houston? There's nothing in Southern California (LA market area) as well, which covers ~15 million people.
WiMAX is 'supposed' to be able to assist in coverage in rural areas that have no other carrier - eg. Houston/LA, etc. all have multiple carriers. These rural areas won't have DSL/Cable, making WiMAX/Clear a very valid choice.
Clear 'should' deploy in those towns/cities that are TWC/AT&T only and have the 5-40GB caps. |

Apparently there are a number of "secret" markets that havent been revealed yet. I heard NYC was on that list, but I dont recall if Southern California was. I am not sure why they have a secret list, but I have read it a few places online.

Same with NYC/NJ, and a few other places not on the list. There is evidence to support a larger rollout, I am not entirely sure why they dont just come out and say it. Perhaps they are trying to be sneaky (to the competition), but if we (people reading this thread) can figure it out I guarantee the big telcos can too.

| Plausible deniability: If they don't announce it, people won't complain if they later cancel that rollout for whatever reasons. |

TWC techs in my area are saying Cleveland, OH is suppose to be on the list for 2009 or Q1 of 2010. |
