Comcast-Clearwire-Sprint = Broadband + WiMAX + 3G

Comcast is buying wholesale access to the Clearwire network for the service. A Comcast spokesperson has already said, "You can assume where they go, so will we." This suggests that Comcast might launch in cities like Las Vegas, Dallas, Chicago, and Philadelphia in 2009. Clearwire is up and running commercialy in Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Portland, Ore., at the moment. Unstrung is expecting that Dallas will be the next market it launches.

In Atlanta, Comcast is offering a $49.99 "Fast Pack Metro," which includes Comcast’s 12-Mbit/s home Internet service, a free WiFi router for the home, and the WiMax service. For $20 more per month, Comcast is also offering access to Sprint's 3G network nationwide.
