Humberto Saabedra

Clearwire has announced a new wholesale agreement with Best Buy whereby the electronics retailer will offer WiMax service under its recently launched Connect mobile broadband service in 2011. No immediate word was given regarding pricing or specific availability of hardware and service, as Clearwire currently covers 43 markets served by Best Buy.

Best Buy launched its current Connect mobile broadband service for Gobi modem equipped netbooks earlier this month.
