What about Clearwire?
June 16th, 2007As of the date of this post, Clearwire is Richmond’s latest broadband provider utilizing wireless technology operating in the licensed 2.5GHz band. More info about Clearwire’s launch may be seen via Richmond.com - “Unplugging the Competition”
That being said, a Richmond Free Wireless user may actually donate the use of his or her Clearwire subscription service to actually help expand the RFW network. RFW is no way competing with Clearwire or vice versa. In fact, the two networks may complement each other! Clearwire’s image below, via this page on their website, depicts how one might share his or her connection via wireless (where, in RFW’s case, via a wireless node):
In addition, there is virtually no interference between the two networks since both operate under differing spectrum frequencies.
So, that being said, help us expand the RFW network with your Clearwire subscription!
