Clearwire has kept their promise of bringing Mobile WiMax to New York City before the end of the year. Mailings are being sent out to customers informing them that Clear service “is finally available in New York City” for an initial offer of $35 a month for the first two months. The flyer amusingly offers a city of 8 million a free USB modem (usually $115) if they’re one of the first 20 to sign up for service. New York City is still only listed as a “a future Clear city” in Clear’s coverage map, and the company has yet to issue an official release, though these kinds of unofficial launches are not uncommon for the carrier.
