Jul 07, 2006 -- Clearwire offers 3rd alternative for high speed

Clark has been a big fan of high-speed wireless Internet in cities because it’s a way of breaking up the monopoly companies that offer high-speed Internet. Typically, it’s been only cable and phone companies offering this service. But now there is a third option. One company, Clearwire, is about $20 a month and it requires no installation. It works via satellite signal and it’s cheap. Clearwire has been operating quietly and hasn’t been making big waves. But Motorola and Intel are putting about $1 billion into Clearwire to increase the number of markets in which it’s offered. This is great news! Capitalism responds to fear, and fear is a great motivator. So, now that there is a third competitor, it’s going to shake things up. (Editor's note: Some users have reported negative experiences with Clearwire.)
