Perfect timing on this great Philadelphia sports day! Amazingly, using the beer to illustrate internet coverage was effective. Moving around with Earthlink’s Wifi in Philly was a bad idea as I moved from access point to access point. Internet from the phone is mobile but insanely slow with AT&T and Tmobile. Wimax/4G however, looks like a warm wash of highspeed internet for everyone at just 20$/day.
Comcast and Sprint will also have this tech in Philly so expect the next wave of start ups to come from Philly. I trully believe better tools create better ideas and now we just might be ready to compete..Here’s the press release:
“Clearwire’s 4G service is branded CLEAR. CLEAR offers super fast mobile Internet service that works as fast on the go as it does at home. Customers will initially be able to purchase service online at www.clear.com, followed by retail store and dealer openings in the weeks to follow. For more information about pricing, services, devices, and local retail locations, visit www.clear.com.”
