Re: CoolYes, I like seeing all these companies lining up to buy space on Clearwire (Sprint), since the more interest in it the more likely it is to expand farther and farther.
Clear better be kicking it into high gear if they want to stay ahead of Verizon / LTE! | |

Re: CoolThese partnerships are the only hope Clear has of surviving. Their stand-alone performance has been miserable. | |

Re: CoolYeah, they may be picking up subscribers somewhat, but until they get their service area deployed far and wide, and iron out any connection issues their users are having, they won't be capturing a very big market share...
And I want them to succeed, since Cleveland is on their list of market deployments for 2010. It would be great to have a viable alternative to TW sooner rather than later! | |

I'm told by the local sprint corporate rep for government that Albany will have 4G by around Christmas. Sprint will be doing a big push of 4g into tertiary markets even and recharging the lineup with 4G phones. | |

That's good than it should spread 4G faster than how clearwire currently is developing | |

No. Don't put them on the BB stores. They need to do it with WalMart. Walmart has a store in almost every town! that would be the best way to expand. hell i'm surpised walmart doesn't own a tower company by now. | |

LameWhat's the point of this service? This is just the same crappy caps and the same prices with essentially less coverage. If I was a data service customer for a real provider why would I even consider this option? | |

Re: LameThere is no cap at the present time on Clear 4G. Service is pretty damn stable as well (where there is coverage of course). | |

Re: LameThe links in the article summary clearly specify a 5GB cap. | |

Re: LameThen that's best buy. You get it from Sprint, and there is no cap. | |

What's the value add?These data MVNOs provide no additional benefit than getting straight from Clear or Sprint... or do they? I don't see a benefit with BB. Actually it looks like there is a 5GB limit, so why go with BB?
Sounds like this one will be Disney/ESPN MVNO all over again. | |

Re: What's the value add?That's for the 3g offering on sprint not clearwire. | |

So much for Clear resellers, huh?Too bad for the resellers who worked to get the product established in these markets only to give it up to the big box stores once it became more lucrative. | |

Re: So much for Clear resellers, huh?what resellers? The only resellers that Clear has are their cable partners and now Best Buy. | |

A thought about ClearwireI had one, but I would not recommend 4G for on the go, unless you stop at parks or anywhere else where you are not moving. Otherwise you constantly loose connections at hand offs between towers when you commute (like commuter train). I soon gave it up because that was not making sense for me to pay $40 each month and only use it actually once a week, and not being able to use it daily on the train. majority of time I use Internet at home (no and standalone home service from Clear is not an option for me). I'll ocasionally use free wifi anywhere at starbucks or barns and noble if I need to go on the internet while I am away. Besides who likes to take notebook or netbook everywhere? In these situations just a smart-phone will meets most needs with Internet access. I am getting iPhone | |
