It appears Clear will limit Mobile Wimax service to 384kbps upstream. And $50/mo for uncapped service

Apparently, if you want to share a single WiMax subscription among two devices (say a tablet and a computer at home), then it will cost $70/month.

Ridiculous how the mobile is more expensive than the 'fixed'. There should be one fixed price for however many devices are connected with maybe a bandwidth cap on use. That would get me to bite.

LOL, they clearly aren't trying to compete with HS*PA. Looks like a DOCSIS competing with ADSL(2). Deja vu...

It's just a weak attempt to milk (and in some ways rob) bleeding edge users such that they help the network pay for putting on all that "expensive equipment". Once some serious competition steps into the arena, as is true after the early adopters have been pretty thoroughly robbed blind, then and only then do prices come down. But if you're an early adopter, always expect yourself to get robbed for a few years to help the big corps pay off debts in anticipation of price reductions due to competition at later times.
