Time Warner Cable reselling WiMAX later this year in Charlotte, Dallas, and two mystery markets

It’s not really that surprising given its investment in Clearwire, but Time Warner Cable is now ready to join in on the WiMAX fun. The company plans to resell the mobile broadband in four US cities by the end of the year, but so far it’s only revealed two of them: Charlotte, North Carolina, and Dallas, Texas. Meanwhile, cable competitor Comcast has already opened up its WiMAX shop in Portland, Oregon, and plans to hit Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia by the end of this year. No word on prices, but we don’t expect it to stray far from the current $20 to $50 monthly fees. We’re also a bit in the dark as to when we can expect the rollout this year, so if you’re in one of those two markets and have a strong itch for 4G wireless, better start filling up that piggy bank now, just to be safe.
