The Internet gives us all a profound freedom to communicate, explore and share ideas. But until now, access to the Internet has been a bit of a let down. That's why we created a better alternative with Clearwire.
Clearwire is here to provide Internet service as astounding as the Internet itself. Now you can enjoy a high-speed broadband Internet connection on your terms — with a solution that's simple, flexible, reliable and affordable. Best of all with Clearwire, you connect to the Internet without a cord or cable coming out of the wall.
Before creating Clearwire, Craig McCaw founded McCaw Cellular – later purchased by AT&T Wireless. Craig aspired to deliver better, more flexible access to the Internet throughout communities nationwide.
