What is the partnership between Mobile Citizen and Clearwire?
Mobile Citizen’s wireless broadband is powered by WiMAX, a 4G technology from Clearwire Corporation, the country’s leading mobile broadband network provider. In 2006, Clearwire entered into a 30-year excess capacity agreement with the five EBS licensees which established Mobile Citizen. This agreement allows Mobile Citizen to offer advanced mobile broadband service exclusively to schools and nonprofits, helping to further learning and productivity by providing internet access beyond the classroom or office. Mobile Citizen has plans to launch its mobile broadband service to the educational and non-profit sectors beginning in Portland, Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Chicago in 2009.
