Clearwire to offer CLEAR®
Sprint to offer Sprint 4G
Kirkland, Wash.; Overland Park, Kan. – Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ: CLWR) and Sprint (NYSE: S) announced plans to launch their respective 4G mobile Internet services to additional cities in the summer of 2010. Each of the companies will offer 4G under their own 4G brand.
In addition to the 32 markets currently available, the companies plan to launch 4G mobile broadband services this summer in the following cities: Orlando and Tampa, FL. Consumers and businesses should expect to see additional network expansions throughout these cities, and a wide-range of independent marketing and advertising initiatives.
The 4G customer experience from Clearwire and Sprint is unlike any other wireless service available today from any national carrier. Customers in these cities will now be able to increase their mobility and productivity in many ways: from instantly downloading large files to get work done on the run, browsing the web just like at home from across the city, or watching online videos and movies while travelling in the family car around town.
Clearwire and Sprint 4G customers can expect to see wireless service significantly faster than today’s 3G. Clearwire and Sprint customers will also be able to purchase a wide range of 4G devices, including compact USB modems and other wireless devices, all aimed at making lives in these 4G cities more mobile and efficient.
