Comcast plans to bundle the WiMax service offered by Clearwire with its existing cable broadband package. The service will first be available in Portland, Oregon with other cities that have WiMax and Comcast to follow. The package will cost $50 per month for 12Mbps cable internet and the 4G wireless service, offering up to 4Mbps download speeds. The package deal will be for the first 12 months, and will increase to $73 per month thereafter. Users of the Triple Play bundle will be able to add the 4G wireless for $30 per month as well. Comcast hopes that this will be just the first foray into high speed wireless internet, and the company even purchased some of the wireless spectrum in the federal government auction.
