WiMax's New Target: Seattle Homes

Tricia Duryee writes in The Seattle Times:

At Seattle's 1962 World's Fair, the Space Needle stood as a symbol for what the future would bring.

Today, the landmark is signifying something no one would have ever imagined 44 years ago.

Clearwire, wireless pioneer Craig McCaw's latest venture, is officially launching a new service in Seattle that provides Internet service to the home wirelessly. The service, a form of an emerging technology called WiMax, operates through a system of towers that transmit and receive signals allowing users to be online.
