This is good
It looks like Ohio gets the special treatment again; Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati, Columbus, and it looks like Dayton, and possibly even Lima.

For some reason, Ohio seems to hold a special place in Sprint's heart, as Ohio has the best EVDO Revision A coverage (for its size) in the nation...go figure (not that I mind, of course!).

Either way, hopefully they'll cover the places in between these cities too (though I have doubts)....I'd definitely dump by (of late) piece of crap EVDO for this; backhaul for XOHM only (as opposed to sharing it with cellphones), and a lot larger backhaul so more users can use one tower (my problem, right now). Plus, if the price was $30, I'd be saving a lot of money, per month, vs. my current $50.90.....plus, latency would probably be lower, too.

Let's hope this turns out well; if Sprint plays their cards right, they could be the national dominator for WiMAX, and turn it into the next "killer app" that nearly every technological device around the nation will use, one day.

I'm just glad its Sprint doing this and not Verizon or AT&T....as both of those companies have been known to screw people over in terms or price jacking and restrictions.
