Clearwire, the only WiMax internet provider in the US, is looking to roll out WiMax in San Francisco! This job posting found on Twitter (thanks, @sfmobilejobs) is seeking a Project Manager for Network Deployment in San Francisco. According to this article posted at Mobile Burn, the Sprint/Clearwire WiMax rollout for San Francisco isn’t happening until 2010, so this person’s going to have a busy year!
While I won’t be applying for *this* job at Clearwire, the more WiMax rollouts the better. BTW, we’ll be trying out WiMax and LTE (HSPA+, 72Mbps down) at CTIA next week. We’ll be doing bandwidth tests, and videoing as much as possible.
Here’s more about ClearWire, from the job posting:
Headquartered in Kirkland, Wash., the company launched its first market in August 2004 and now offers service in 16 states across the U.S. as well as in Europe.
On May 7, 2008, Clearwire Corporation and Sprint Nextel Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to combine their next-generation wireless broadband businesses to form a new wireless communications company to expedite the deployment of the first nationwide mobile WiMAX network.
In conjunction with this agreement Intel Corporation (through Intel Capital); Google Inc.; Comcast Corporation; Time Warner Cable Inc; and Bright House Networks have collectively agreed to invest $3.2 billion into the new company.
