In Videos: Cupcakes in New Wi-Fi Ads
How do you promote Clearwire, the first 4G wireless broadband network in Portland, Oregon? With cupcakes. And heavy rainstorms of rainbow sprinkles. I want my wi-fi with extra sprinkles, please. The video, after the jump.

I hope they're not lying! Last time I tried to pick up the alleged free Wi-Fi in downtown Portland, I was sorely disappointed (mm, about a year and a half ago). Same trip, though, I did eat a damn good cupcake from the Farmer's Market. Bought one for my 4-year-old niece and she ate only the frosting. Go, niece! :)

Well, I've seen this ad, and as much as it delights me, it isn't for free wi-fi, alleged or otherwise. I've put their print ad from the Oregonian aside for later consideration, and clear internet service costs a minimum of $20/mo. Maybe they'll have a pro-rated service available to travelers - that would be kind of cool, eh? Still, it is possibly a good alternative to the ongoing battle in our area among established providers - minimum service dsl, fiber optic, cable, or dish internet seems to be $40 something a month. How amazing that on the same day on serious eats, there'd be a feature on this new local internet provider, and an article about the Helvetia Tavern hamburger! You'd think Oregon was nearly as important as New York, LA, or SF. Go, Oregon
