Clearwire Plans Silicon Valley "Sandbox" WiMax Net 37
CWmike writes "Clearwire is teaming up with Google, Cisco and Intel to build a WiMax network in Silicon Valley for software developers to try out new applications on the 4G mobile broadband technology. The network will cover the three companies' campuses and the region in between them and will span roughly 20 square miles, Clearwire's Ben Wolff said in a keynote address at the CTIA Wireless show. No public access was mentioned, but Clearwire has forecast expanding its commercial WiMax service to the SF Bay Area next year."

It's the same service being talked about in this article. Clear has a deployment here in portland.

I use the basic plan. They say they cap it at around 100k (bytes) but I regularly get download speeds over a megabyte per second.
I actually have a comcast buisness connection at home, and just carry around the wimax home router with me for places that don't have decent internet. The USB stick doesn't work in Linux anyway.
