After missing breezing right past the original April target, Sprint set September as the launch window for the Baltimore debut of its WiMax service, Xohm. As September draws to an end without word from Sprint, folks are starting to get worried that it might slip back again. Fortunately, Gearlog went and asked. The Response? “Launch still on for September.”
That leaves just under two weeks for Xohm to make its first commercial debut. However, DSLReports is reporting a tip they received, saying that while the announcement will come on September 26th, the actual launch won’t occur until October 6th. Either way, it’s better than 2009.
Aside from Sprint, does anyone really want to go all in with WiMax, at this point?
I think I’ll pass.
Wonder if the cost will be worth the service price tag?
@Nate I think you’re right, only Sprint.
Is that pronounced “ux’ome” or “zome”? Just wondering.
I’ve always pronounced it “Zome”.
I thought it was pronounced “Farve”.
I hope this works good even though it runs on 2.5ghz.
Look in Portland; should launch soon. I’m thinking Sprint is going all in with WiMax to be a convergence carrier. Think that WiMax will take out cable; and they still have regular wireless for out-of-home.
@nate… i will pass also
