Xohm currently has 10,000 sites in preparation for WiMAX infrastructure, 1,750 base stations ordered for delivery this year, 20,000 antennas ordered, 2,000 backhaul links ordered from third parties and 8,000 Sprint backhaul links in deployment, West said.
“We’re not building one network, we’re building two,” he said. WiMAX requires a much faster backhaul than traditionally used T1 lines to truly deliver on its capability, West said, and as such Sprint-Nextel Corp. is building a new backhaul network as well.
With that backhaul system in place “we’ll be able to deliver three to five (Mbps) on the downlink and two to four (Mbps) on the uplink,” he added.

I imagine the coverage will deliver. I've guessed for a few years now that Sprint would be trying to migrate everything to IP (as would the other carriers), so I imagine one way or another you'll get covered, assuming you're not too far from telephone service and/or electricity.
