Portland gets WiMAXed

The Clearwire half of the Sprint / Clearwire Merger has activated its first citywide Mobile WiMAX network in Portland. With two cities done there’s still 70-80 to go before the major markets are covered. Maybe Samsung will actually start selling mobile MiMAX devices like those pictured  in the US some day.

Today, Clearwire unveiled the WiMAX network in Portland, Ore., that we covered last month. Portland is the first city to get WiMAX service under the Clear brand since Clearwire closed its WiMAX spectrum merger with Sprint last month. Portland joins Baltimore, Md., as Clearwire’s only pure WiMAX network in the country. (Gigaom)
