Sidecut Reports

For your weekend viewing pleasure, a bit of a commercial from Cisco and Clearwire, talking about WiMAX services in Atlanta. A little long, but the customer interviews are interesting. And, Cisco’s video skilz make it easy to consume.

Clearwire is scheduled to “officially” launch its Atlanta WiMax services Tuesday, June 16. Since there’s no big media event planned — apparently it is all local and consumer-oriented, which makes sense — there hasn’t been much in the way of official communications from the company (UPDATE: here is the press release). But since we know people outside of Atlanta are interested in what kind of pricing Clearwire is offering there, we have put together this sampler of service plans and prices — but beware, this could change at any second!

(Even though we included such a chart with our recent Clearwire NTK report, using prices for the Portland, Ore., market, those prices have *already* changed to sync with the newer, lower Atlanta pricing for some of the options.)

Anyway, here is the pricing sampler chart — saving you the hassle of spoofing the Clear registration page, which makes you enter a qualified address to get this info. All the prices below are for 2-year plans, for which the company will eliminate the $35 “activation fee.” There are also some lower introductory prices, so if you are really shopping then go to the site and see what kind of deal you can get.

No confirmation yet from the company, but we are hearing from sources in Peachtree land that Clearwire will “officially” launch its Atlanta services market next Tuesday, June 16. Stay tuned for more news as we hear it.
