Poor Baltimore. It was one of the first cities to get Sprint’s 4G Xohm service, but it got the short end of the stick when it came to Clear rollouts. Now it appears the city is back on track for 4G service. According to Gus Sentementes on the BaltTech blog, Clearwire is hosting a blogger/tweeter meet-up tomorrow in advance of the official Baltimore Clear launch. Still no word on an actual launch date, but if the Clearwire folks are willing to talk to pesky bloggers, that’s a good sign.
Meanwhile, I still have Clear service here in the Philly area, and the signal reaches impressively far into the suburbs. Given the ubiquity of Wi-Fi and my phone-embedded 3G connection, I should ditch the 4G monthly fee, but somehow I haven’t managed to just yet.
I was just looking at the Clear map over the weekend and wondering why Baltimore wasn’t listed as a covered city. Weird.
(Don’t think I care enough or will benefit enough in leaving work early for a trip to B’more. I’ll pass on the ‘tweetup’.)
