To get in on that, you'll have to fork over between $30 and $50 a month (for unlimited service), or ten bucks for a 24 hour pass, with Clear's own USB modem setting you back an extra $50 (a desktop modem is also available for $5 a month). Somewhat interestingly, the company is also promising to offer WiMAX-ready laptops "soon," but it unfortunately isn't providing any further details on those just yet. Hit up the link below to check the exact availability of the service, and look for it to hit Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Grand Rapids, Michigan in the not too distant future.br /br /[Thanks, Stephen K.]/div /divpFiled under: a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/wireless/" rel="tag"Wireless/a/pp style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/newly-dubbed-clear-wimax-service-hits-portland-oregon/"Newly-dubbed "Clear" WiMAX service hits Portland, Oregon/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.engadget.com"Engadget/a on Wed, 03 Dec 2008 17:37:00 EST.
