Oct 17, 2008 -- Wi-MAX one step closer to rolling out nationwide
Have you heard about the Wi-MAX launch in Baltimore? Wi-MAX is a new technology that sends out a blanket high-speed Internet signal to cover an entire metro area. Clark's hope is that it will break the stranglehold that monopoly cable and phone companies have on Internet access. It should also elevate our Internet experience among the world's nations. Following the Baltimore launch, the bugs will be ironed out and Wi-MAX should roll out in more cities over the next 18 months.
When it comes to the world of cell phones, Clark is excited about a new development from competing low-cost carriers Cricket and Metro. Previously, each provider would dominate a single metro area, effectively boxing the other out. But now they've both agreed to let each other's customers roam in their coverage areas, effectively creating a "poor man's" nationwide network.
Unfortunately, Clark won't be able to answer any questions submitted via commenting. If you have a question, please try posting it to our message boards.

What others are saying
Will be censored
Australia has passed a law which does not allow you to opt out of censorship unless you allow yourself to be put on a watch list.
Internet Service
Where I live in ohio I can only get is Satellite high speed internet. It is very high priced.
Internet
Here in Georgia we have world-class Internet service (third-world-class)! I have never before seen anything this slow called "high speed".
Wi-Max
Rightous! High-speed internet in this country is way overpriced and often not available in some areas within even large cities. Wi-Max sounds like a great idea, and a very good use of our tax dollars. I've *never* done business with Comcast or AT&T Internet Services - the prices and contracts are not tenable. California - are you listening? Bring it on!
Internet Access
It's long over due that we have lower costs and better internet access. The price we pay is a ripoff! Most other countries are way ahead of us in the U.S. Down with Comcast and AT&T!
