While Russell was running all over town fixing nodes, I laid down,
rather extensively, my thoughts on Clearwire's Clear service.

You can read it here:
http://blog.personaltelco.net/2009/01/08/thoughts-on-clearwire

In many ways, this falls into the "because someone asked" category,
since it's only tangentially relevant to PTP, but I have been asked
what my opinion is, so I figured I'd share it in an accessible
fashion.

Also, for better or for worse, publishing your opinion on a blog seems
to carry significant weight in tech spheres, and while I and many
other PTPers spent about 2 years being very right about what would
happen with Unwire Portland and MetroFi, it seemed that many bloggers
who were very wrong drove the dialog and perpetuated myths about the
realities of wireless service and the market for it. On the one hand,
I hate to endorse the notion that any idiot with a keyboard and 5
minutes to install Wordpress is an expert, but, well, we are experts
on wireless--and certainly wireless in Portland--and if a blog helps
the world to digest that expertise, so be it.

Enjoy (but if you have the choice between node building and my blog
post, please work on the nodes.)
