Clearwire Adds WiMAX Service to 5 More Cities
Let the WiMAX rollout continue — Clearwire announced via its Clear blog Sunday night that its WiMAX services are now live in five more cities, meaning 4G wireless broadband is now available in the California cities of Stockton and Modesto, alongside Grand Rapids, Mich., Wilmington, Del., and Jacksonville, Fla.
By our count this now brings Clearwire to 49 active WiMAX markets in the U.S. (partner Sprint is live in all of them except Washington, D.C., giving Sprint 48 “4G” markets), apparently keeping pace with the company’s previously announced plans for 2010 market rollouts. We expect to hear more about Clearwire’s mega market launches of San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles during the company’s quarterly earnings call Wednesday.
