Clearwire additional coverage on map..Sprint LTE?

[jsncrso]

OK, so I'm looking at the Clearwire coverage map, and there are a bunch of cities that have coverage compared to last year. However, they show up as completely "light green" on the map. For example, go to http://www.clear.com/coverage and tpye in 27320 for the ZIP. Zoom out, and pan north to the town of Eden and you sill see what I mean. Does this mean Clearwire home internet will be using LTE soon? (when I go to confirm coverage, it says its not accepting new customers at this time)

 

Sorry if this is a noob question...I'm on lightning fast cable but will be moving to a very rural area soon with no wired broadband

These are WiMax Protection Sites. They have been around since 2011. They will not be getting LTE any time soon. You can read about Protection Sites here for more info: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/6-what-are-protection-sites/
