As we first discussed last July, Time Warner will soon be offering WiMAX service to their customers in Dallas and Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Charlotte and Greensboro, North Carolina. Time Warner is one of the major investors in Clearwire and will be re-selling the CLEAR WiMAX service (just like Sprint does with their "Sprint 4G" service; Comcast also does this in other markets as well). Time Warner will be offering WiMAX as well as combination 4G+3G packages as part of a few different "bundles", giving special discounts to customers who subscribe to multiple Time Warner cable or home internet services. It's an interesting option for folks who already subscribe to Time Warner's services for their TV or home internet - for an extra charge, customers can add 4G or 4G+3G service to their existing account and have everything neat and tidy on one bill.
If you're a Time Warner customer in another market, you may soon have access to these options, too: Time Warner has announced that they'll be expanding the service into Honolulu and Maui later this year, and into San Antonio and Austin in early 2010!
