It looks like January 6th will be the day Clear brings their brand of Mobile WiMax to Portland, OR.
Here's what I was sent today.
Clearwire and Intel will showcase Clearwire's new mobile WiMAX service, called Clear, with remarks by senior executives, as well as live product demonstrations at the press conference and around the city. Clearwire is building the only next-generation network capable of delivering true broadband service both at home and on the go, giving customers access to the same, super fast speeds anywhere in Clear's coverage area.
Some might say that timing couldn't be worse. MacWorld is in full swing in San Francisco and CES starts two days later. But I disagree. Portland is home to a large Intel contingent and Intel has played a big role in the development and marketing of Mobile WiMax. What's more the community is what matters, not the early adopters who head off to SF and Las Vegas.
Ideally, Portland is the kind of community that is perfect for Clear. I just hope the service works out in the Wine Country. If it does, I'll be a regular visitor to both the city and the hillsides.
