Did that remove Tucson??

Tucson is on the original list of cities for a 2009-2010 launch.
Madison, Milwaukee, Orlando, Cape Coral, West Palm Beach, Miami, Tucson, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita, Lansing, Columbus, Richmond, Virginia Beach and Toledo.
I just double checked and found Richmond was left off the list in the first post. The original article said the cities listed only represented the main metro areas and is not a complete depiction of the coverage. They also cautioned that the plan was subject to change.

No Denver area? We must be dogmeat.

A Legal challenge trying to block Sprint-Clearwire WiMax JV moves forward

xrayman · Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 10:45 am Post subject:

Sprint-ClearWire WiMax needs to have a nationwide successful rapid roll out without delay, LTE is nipping at your heels.
T-Mobile-Nortel have successfully tested LTE in a moving car. They achieved data rates of 170 Mbit/s down and 50 Mbit/s up.

Xohm to release Oct 6? Prices to be announced Sep 26?

http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Xohm-Baltimore-Launch-October-6-97821

Someone who claims to be on the inside claims there will be no caps. Makes sense they would start the service with no caps when there is zero load in the beginning. But they could always add one later. Will have to be competitive though to grow the service.

Looking forward to EVDO/WiMAX combo cards expected to come by the end of the year. I was thinking through how the pricing would work and my guess is that WiMAX only will be $50/month or less and a combo card will be the same as EVDO at typical $60/month. You can only be using one network at a time so it would make sense to charge for the higher one rather than the cost of the two combined.

"Xohm to release Oct 6?" Another Sprint WiMax delay? Xohm President Barry West said Baltimore was ready to launch in September.

that cmotech cmu-300 is the same device we saw at CTIA last april.

our pic is part of this blogpost:

3gstore enjoys a great relationship with franklin -- we were first to sell their cdu-550 and cdu-680.

We are working closely with franklin, and hope to also bring the cmu-300 to market as quickly as anyone else, if not before.

If Sprint were smart (gotta sometimes wonder if they are), they should ONLY sell WiMAX/EVDO combo cards once available in all formats and dump 3G/2G only cards. When 3G cards came around, they stopped selling 2G only cards afterall. And when RevA cards came around, they stopped selling Rev0 cards fairly soon after.

This may essentially force the other 3G card makers to get into WiMAX. Neither Sierra nor Novatel have announced any WiMAX plans yet.

WiMAX only a few weeks away... can almost taste it.

I got to ask...Does any of the Wimax cards work with our Wireless routers??

No, I'm almost positive the old routers will not supprt the new service. But, it looks like you dont have to get a USB dongle for the new service.
