How often are new towers added ?

Looks like they conceal them as flagpoles - If that is true you might as well put them anywhere !

Does the TowerCO company look for places to put them and pay an easement fee to the landowner similar to oil or pipeline easements ?

(if so they can put one on my land)

Sprint or Clear?

I imagine both will be here.... sprint runs the network for cellular and clear runs the isp side. So another advantage is we would finally get a 3rd option for internet access (but I still wouldn't trust a wireless signal over a wired one).

yes. for those who get 4G phones like HTC EVO, you will be paying sprint. You will pay clearwire for your homes internet access. Sprint is a majority shareholder in clearwire.

I was in Houston today and was having fun frolicking in 4g on the laptop. I was getting 4-6mb down and 1-1.25mb up.
Glad its going to be here soon.

Is there a monthly cap on that plan?

No, 4g with Sprint is unlimited. I pay $60 for unlimited 4g and 5gb on 3g.

I have to go back to Houston tomorrow and I'll post a speedtest link. Ping times were around 150ms.
Right now 4g comes out to just past Cypress/Fairbanks.

From today on wimax in Houston.
Ping was a little sucky on this one, usually around 150.

Yea about all I could muster on upload was about 1.25mb. Yesterday I could only top out at about 6.5mb d/l. So looks like wimax data rates maybe all over the place.
