Clearwire WiMAX goes live in Las Vegas
Vegas, you’ve got WiMax! Looks like another “soft launch” is underway, as Clearwire’s service locator web page now includes a map of service availability areas in Sin City.
Guessing the pricing plans will be similar to what is now being offered in Portland, Ore., and Atlanta. More when we see/hear more!
UPDATE, 6/1/09: We did get an email from the company officially acknowledging that services are for sale in Las Vegas, with a formal launch/announcement/etc. to follow sometime soon.
Since we had detected (and used!) the Vegas network while in town for the CTIA shindig a couple months ago, we’re not really surprised that this market is up and running. Seems like Vegas is a relatively simple market from a set-up standpoint — hardly any vegetation that might cause interference, and a lot of tall buildings for easy antenna locations. Plus a lot of fiber and other connectivity in and around town for backhaul.
