Flarion Wins Another (Small) Deal
While we're expecting some people to go on and on about how this isn't WiMax, it looks like Flarion has been able to sign up another provider to offer its FLASH-OFDM technology. It's a small rural provider in Virginia -- so this is hardly a major deal at all. However, with all of IP Wireless' deals lately and these announcements from Flarion (not to mention the various 3G offerings), it does look like the wireless broadband space is finally starting to pick up some real momentum.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
