Clark has been a big fan of high-speed wireless Internet in cities because its a way of breaking up the monopoly companies that offer high-speed Internet. Typically, its 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 its cheap. Clearwire has been operating quietly and hasnt been making big waves. But Motorola and Intel are putting about $1 billion into Clearwire to increase the number of markets in which its offered. This is great news! Capitalism responds to fear, and fear is a great motivator. So, now that there is a third competitor, its going to shake things up. (
Editor's note: Some users have reported negative experiences with Clearwire.)
