FierceWireless: Comcast to sell mobile WiMAX laptop cards

Comcast said it will market wireless broadband cards for laptops on Clearwire's mobile WiMAX network in Portland, Ore. The cable company will offer the service, called High-Speed 2go, on promotion for $49.99 per month for a year, a price that includes Comcast's Internet home service and a WiFi router.

The company will offer two different data cards and service plans. One will be a 4G-only data card that works in Clearwire's "Clear" markets, while the other will work in those markets and also access Sprint's national CDMA network and be able to switch between the two. The nationwide service will cost an extra $20 per month.

The devices and pricing offerings are similar to those offered by Clearwire under the "Clear" brand and Sprint Nextel under the "Sprint 4G" brand.
