Sprint to launch WiMax network
Sprint will be “soft-launching” there new WiMax network later this week. Named mysteriously as XOHM, this network will function much like using the internet over the 3G cell network, except this network is a lot less expensive, and is open to any device. They plan to make the network available in downtown Baltimore, Chicago, and Washington, D.C at first, and expand as their popularity grows. WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) has long been rumored as the technology that would replace 3G, but never really caught on because not enough devices used the technology. Intel has backed this technology for a long time, and is planning to incorporate WiMax-enabled chips in their upcoming successor to the Santa Rosa platform, code named Montevina. Apple has not publicly stated that they support WiMax, but with their Intel ties, it would not be unlikely to find WiMax in the upcoming Mac sub-notebook.
