Hot on the heels of their Las Vegas launch, Clearwire has announced that their 4G WiMAX service will be available in ten more markets on September 1st., although their picks aren’t what you’d call high-population hubs: “Boise, Idaho; Bellingham, Wash.; and eight markets throughout Texas, including: Abilene, Amarillo, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, Midland/Odessa, Killeen/Temple, Waco and Wichita Falls”. Larger cities, like Chicago, Charlotte, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Honolulu, Philadelphia and Seattle, will get service later this year, while New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Houston and the San Francisco Bay Area will be getting Clearwire in 2010. Hopefully by then we’ll have more than the Mondi that takes advantage of the network.
