Pinky and the Brain were consulted, and you can rest assured they were both highly supportive of Clearwire's latest initiative. Announced today in cooperation with Russia's
Yota and Japan's
UQ Communications, Clearwire has banged out a memorandum of understanding with the aforesaid
WiMAX carriers that "identifies the objectives and activities each operator will perform towards the realization of establishing WiMAX roaming between the [two]." With translators in tow, the trio are hoping to define and institute the necessary processes that'll ensure devices from each carrier works on the other's network, and while American's probably couldn't care less about these two operators in particular, it's the thought that counts. Just imagine -- 4G global roaming at a decent price point. That, friends, is
the future.

Kanye made me pretty upset with that comment. I never watch that pop culture awards. But that clip hit most news programs. I felt so horrible for her....
And as for WiMAX and LTE, I shouldn't have to pay more for 4G. I don't remember having to pay more for 3G
