WiMAX operator clwr officially added three more cities to its network coverage overnight. Two were the major markets in New England, adding coverage for 2.5M in Boston and 590K in Providence. And down in Florida they added coverage for 190K in Daytona Beach, which will keep Jacksonville company. Now, as I am a sucker for maps and feel silly describing the extent of each new coverage area in words, here is a quick set of snapshots of the three markets from clear.com’s awesome coverage maps:

Rob,
interesting piece in WSJ this a.m. suggesting Sprint may let T Mobile invest in Clearwire which would likely provide the capital needed for the full nationwide roll out of 4G service. Could also be a precurser to a full merger resulting in three nationwide competitors. Sprint now looks interesting at $4.00 per share with slowly improving results.
