Comcast Corp, the largest US cable operator, has launched its version of the Clearwire WiMAX service this week offering speeds of up to 4Mb/s, reports Reuters. The service - known as 'Comcast High-Speed 2go' - launched officially in Portland, Oregon, yesterday and is expected to expand to Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia before the end of the year. A 'Metro' version of the datacard, which is typically installed into a laptop to allow mobile Internet access, will cost US$49.99 a month when bundled with Comcast's home Internet service, but will only work within the metropolitan coverage area. A nationwide version for US$69.99 a month will allow subscribers to access the Internet via Sprint Nextel's 3G network where the WiMAX network is not available.
