What other cities is sprint considering getting a wimax coverage at?

Is the only way to determine if the towers can handle XOHM by browsing around with a XOHM device? Or is there something we can read from the tower using an EVDO card and debug views?

^And you can always return it. Just make sure you check into the return policy as it probably varies per retailer.

Anyone willing to check out Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati? It would be interesting to see if these are up (I have my doubts, but who knows?)

Arrrrgh!!! Why the f*ck is Sprint putting cities such as Chicago, DC, Dallas, Philly, and Boston before a large major metropolitan city like Los Angeles? LA should have been the FIRST city to get WiMax! This city is on the cutting edge and dying to its hands on such technology.

I sincerely hope Sprint reconsiders the order of which cities they're going to rollout WiMax for, and that LA is on their soon to do list. I'm going to jump on it in a heartbeat!

I'm tired of high ping, laggy games online on my laptop Sad

So what service has ever launched in the LA Area before? Enlighten me... Remember when analog cell made it's first appearance in 1983.... The markets this was done in was Chicago and DC markets..

I can only imagine how much more money is needed to cover an adequate area of Los Angeles. I think that the shear size of the city works against it for such projects. In the case of Baltimore and DC, you can reach areas with some of the highest per capita internet usage with a much smaller footprint.

Reportedly, Chicago was chosen due to the fact that it is the home of Motorola, which is the key vendor in their WiMax buildout.

After hearing about the rush on XOHM gear in Baltimore, and "imminent" release in Boston, I went to the XOHM page, confirmed that my zip was on the list of future-support areas & ordered the hardware. Coverage is very strong around the U.Mass area, although I can't get past the XOHM signup page, and can't signup since I'm not in an active service area.
I have since heard that Boston won't be rolled out until sometime in '09. Waiting is taxing my patience, but the strong signal & speedy response of the parking page (basically identical to XOHM.COM but with some info on the connected device) hold promise that it will be worth the wait.
