[aklug] Re: clearwire in anchorage

Forgot about Borealis.

Price doesn't seem out of line to me. I'm paying $55.00/mo for 1.5M x
256K including phone line w/ Clearwire. When I was w/ ACS, it was around
$70.00/mo including phone, and I was getting 768K x 256K service.

$79.99/mo for 1M x 1M doesn't seem out of line, for Alaska.
