Clearwire/Sprint 4G Launches In Houston Expect a flood of additional market launches soon... Both Sprint and Clearwire have issued press releases announcing that the companies have officially launched Mobile WiMax service today in Houston, Texas. That brings Clearwire's total deployment to 27 markets, the majority of those smaller market launches in Texas. Last week Clearwire announced they'd be launching service in Los Angeles, Miami, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Salt Lake City this year -- in addition to previously-planned 2010 launches including New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., Kansas City, Denver, Minneapolis and the San Francisco Bay Area. Clearwire hopes to reach 120 million potential customers by the time 2011 rolls around.

In addition to Houston, the 4G network is currently operating in Abilene, Amarillo, Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth, Killeen/Temple, Lubbock, Midland/Odessa, San Antonio, Waco and Wichita Falls.

Denton, TX | Big green blob Again... the coverage map for Houston has a nice big green blob over the whole city giving the impression the entire city is covered seemlessly. Clear does not give anyone access to the REAL coverage maps, which has been incredibly annoying for me. I have to go to the guy in the mall at the Clear kiosk to look to see if a spot is ACTUALLY covered because that green blob is not even close to accurate. | |
| | | | Re: Big green blob And those kiosks are at Katy Mall, Baybrook Mall, Woodlands Mall, Willowbrook mall and First Colony Mall... Just opened yesterday... | |

| | Cincinnati? I am surprised Cincinnati is this early. If I used sprint it would be very excited (I would get the Evo). The more the better though, they are pushing this fast I think. | |

Cant wait till they turn on Cincinnati. I'll dump Cincinnati Bell DSL like a bad habit. I'm stuck with 4 down .5 up for the last 8 yrs. Bring it on Clearwire. | |

| | Likely partially available unoffically in planned metros Metros that have been announced to have WiMAX for this year likely have at least a small portion up and running.
Downtown Kansas City recently went live unofficially, and likely other parts of town. It's likely business centers and high income areas of a metro that would go live first - just a guess as it was the pattern when 3G rolled out.
This occurred with Vegas, Atlanta, Chicago, etc. Parts of the metro were working many months before officially announced. They of course make the announcement when everything has been tested for the whole metro, but it's likely available well before. Don't expect tech support until it's officially announced. | |
| | | | Re: Likely partially available unoffically in planned metros From what I have heard the area around the Sprint campus has WiMax up and running. I have heard parts of New York City are up and running. | |
| | | | | Re: Likely partially available unoffically in planned metros hmm really? where where where? brooklyn? queens? what speeds?
gimme all the info:))) | |

Philly/DC/Baltimore users might be able to report NYC hotspots.
DC isn't officially available yet but has had unofficial access for almost a year. | |
| | | | | | | Re: Likely partially available unoffically in planned metros Is Baltimore available? According to Clear's coverage map there's nothing in Baltimore. | |

join:2005-05-17 | Re: Likely partially available unoffically in planned metros Baltimore has coverage as it was the one and only deployment under the old Xohm name. Now that Sprint has finally turned that over to Clear, they're replacing the old Xohm-branded equipment with theirs, but it is available.
Of course that's no help as they haven't put it on their website (and Xohm.com just redirects to Clear.com now), and even more sadly the street-level coverage map that was on the Xohm site is gone too. If they would actually get information out there I'd be more interested in trying them.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
