[PLUG] Clearwire WiMAX service started in Philadelphia two weeks ago

["William H. Magill" <magill@mcgillsociety.org>]

Today's Inquirer has a feature story in the Business Section on  
Clearwire's WiMAX service rollout in Philadelphia.

http://www.philly.com/philly/business/homepage/20091013_Wireless_options_heating_up_in_Philadelphia.html

Clearwire is a joint venture between Sprint/Nextel and Comcast. (And  
according to their website, Intel, Time Warner Cable, Google and  
BrightHouse Networks.)

Service is apparently offered in the Phila area by  clear.com

They have some interesting "special" prices... but the speeds are  
simply DSL ... 6Mbps down x  1Mbps up -- same as I get from DCAnet who  
resells Verizon.
