It's not like most major businesses in Vancouver charge Oregon residents sales tax either. The "freeloading" that you speak of works both ways. The symbiotic relationship between both cities is more beneficial to each of them than you think.]]>Dec 5th 2008 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/newly-dubbed-clear-wimax-service-hits-portland-oregon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/newly-dubbed-clear-wimax-service-hits-portland-oregon/

As to the 3G-o-philes, I remember when 3G was a pipe dream and the mobile internet was teh sux. It's just a matter of time before this stuff is ubiquitous, and 3G will be a joke. I can see this service completely supplanting standard wireless service, using VoIP etc.

I just wish it wasn't Clearchannel making this happen. I feel dirty even talking about it. |-L]]>Dec 3rd 2008 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/newly-dubbed-clear-wimax-service-hits-portland-oregon/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/03/newly-dubbed-clear-wimax-service-hits-portland-oregon/
