1 edit | WiMAX already available in Chicago
You can already use WiMAX in Chicago. It's just not 'officially' released yet. Just buy a device and register it in Baltimore then switch the billing address. Don't expect any customer support though.
See www.4ginfo.com as they already did it. |

| I read last night that Baltimore uses Samsung APs, while Chicago is using Motorola wimax APs.
Sounds to me like it's still a big beta since they don't seem to have chosen any one hardware for roll out.

| Chicago is actually up and running and anyone could use it today if they register the device with a Baltimore address. The people at 4ginfo.com proved it in Chicago.
What Sprint is testing is the customer support and provisioning process. They are doing it with the smallest market first to get the kinks worked out before officially releasing in larger markets.
The Xohm group is almost completely separate from Sprint. Separate billing, separate customer support, almost like a new company. |
