Per Clear's own website:
Unlimited plans subject to certain limitations described in CLEAR’s Acceptable Use Policy. For details, go to www.clear.com/legal/aup.

They state they have a right to alter service if you are impacting network congestion, but it doesn't have a broadly specific defined cap. All ISPs have similar conditions.
I think the differences between Verizon/ATT and Sprint 4G will be that Sprint will eventually structure limits inline with cable operators since they don't have a landline broadband network direct to homes. VZW/ATT will structure 4G limits similar to 3G because they do have landland broadband networks. So Sprint be forced to have less limits than VZW/ATT - good for the consumer.
Verizon can go ahead and do per use charges/caps if they want, but someone will be out there who does not.
This seems to validate WiMAX's claims that it costs less to rollout than LTE. Verizon is essentially agreeing to it. |
