Sprint to Launch Commercial WiMAX Network In 2Q 2008
May 22, 2007, 9:43 AM by (staff)
Today Sprint further confirmed its plans to launch WiMAX networks in several markets in the U.S. Sprint had previously announced three trial cities (Baltimore, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.) to test its WiMAX networks beginning late this year. In a press release today, Sprint noted that it will launch its WiMAX mobile broadband service commercially starting in the second quarter of 2008 after the successful completion of those trials. Sprint expects to cover up to 100 million people with its WiMAX network, but did not say how soon additional cities would be added.

It's going to be up & running far faster than the eventual 7.2 mbps HSPA upgrade is ready for Cingular/[acronym]. Plus, it's a step forward in technology, not just a point increase for something we already have. I suspect it won't be long bef...

10 Mbit/s down isn't all that bad I don't think.. and it DOES seem faster than AT&T's standard 3.6 Mbit/s. Oh and wait, did we remember that WiMax can do 10 Mbit/s upload as well? Lets see HSDPA do that.

I wanted to say a few things:
HSDPA/HSUPA will be cool whenever it's finally launched, But I think the apocalypse is scheduled sooner...
WiMax provides Cable broadband speeds, but wirelessly. Theoretical speeds are cool, but theoretically my car...

Sprint's Commercial Coverage
I'm just wondering, it seems like you see more commercials for Sprint's "Broadband" network, the network that works in more places than any other network in the United States, but I still have yet to meet anyone that uses Sprint in that way. Everyone I know with EV-DO is on Verizon, and I know quite a few people that also use the HSPA family on Cingular.
Sprint offers employees of my company a 25% discount, but almost everyone chooses T-Mobile (with no discount), Verizon (with no discount), or Cingular (11% discount).
I just hope Sprint is working on something good, because people in my area are leaving them in groves, complaining of dropped calls, poor coverage, bad customer service, and even poor handset selection. People from ...

Knowing Sprint, they'll have devices to work with iDEN and WiMAX. iDEN is like the T-1000 of technologies...

Sweet!
I think I need to take another shower now that I've read this article. I'll openly admit that I am really excited about WiMax and that it's going to launch in my hometown.
Now I just have to sit and wait.
