Time Warner to Resell WiMax as Road Runner Mobile on December 1st
Time Warner Cable has confirmed that it will begin resale of Clear’s WiMax service in the Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh-Durham markets beginning on December 1st under the Road Runner Mobile brand name soon after Clear’s official launch. Time Warner representatives further confirmed Road Runner Mobile launches for the Dallas/Ft.Worth metroplex by the end of the year, with Honolulu and Maui going live early next year.
The following three service plans will be offered under Road Runner Mobile:
-
National Elite: Unlimited access to Clear WiMax and Sprint’s 3G EVDO Rev. A network for $79.95 per month to customers who also take the Road Runner Standard or Turbo cable modem service. Time Warner promises further discounts if customers subscribe to the cable provider’s double or triple-play cable service bundle which includes cable internet access and digital phone service.
-
Mobile Elite: Unlimited access to mobile WiMax for $49.95 per month and pricing also applies when bundled with the Standard or Turbo cable modem service with an additional bundle discount available.
-
Mobile 4G Choice: Caps mobile WiMax use at 2 gigabytes per month and will sell for $39.95 per month if customers add at least one other Time Warner cable service.

MEEP MEEP!

Bob, while that’s correct, Mobile WiMAX runs at seven megabits per second, not one megabit.
This is why sprint will stay in bussiness. This is just the first company. There will be somany more. WiMax is the future
Technically Time Warner is a joint investor in Clear. Sprint really didn’t have anything to do with it, as Time Warner has resale rights as part of the investment.
It will be interesting to see if non-shareholders also get into the business of reselling Clear 4G. That largely depends on how quickly Clear can rebrand/upgrade their existing Clearwire footprint.
