Will this be mobile Wimax? And if so, any claimed/estimated/WAG speeds?

Chicagoland is a huge ammusement park... how large of an area are they covering? I love the word "Chicagoland"...

Cost???

Anyone know what this will cost? If it's fixed, will it be competitive with DSL/Cable HSI prices? If it's not fixed, then is the price competitive with the cellular data plans?

Cart before the horse?

No WONDER Sprint is having technical problems with their Nextel subscribers. From the headline: "Network trials are scheduled for late 2007, with commercial launch in early 2007." They're doing it BACKWARD!

And your point? Sprint usually does things backward. Like cutting 5000 jobs right before a large expansion.

Can't wait.

Re: Greater Chicagoland

Having read the entire Motorola press release this looks like merely a technology field trial, and since Motorola is based in "Chicagoland" it'll probably go something like the cellular phone development trials did back in the early 1980's.

They don't actually have this ready for market yet. I wouldn't get too worked up until it's available for sale to the unwashed masses. Far too much WiMax exists on press releases having yet to see hardware.

Good memory. Here is the press release that says Nokia joins Motorola as a vendor. I wonder how the contracts will be broken down, by MCA, etc.?
