Sprint Lights Up WiMax in Baltimore

Sprint Lights Up WiMax in Baltimore

Telecommunications operator Sprint has officially launched its Xohm 4G WiMax wireless data network in Baltimore, Maryland, with additional rollouts planning in other markets scheduled to come online as Sprint builds out a promised nationwide network—Washington D.C. and Chicago should be next followed by Dallas-Ft. Wroth, Boston, Providence, and Philadelphia.

“This is truly an historic day with the birth of a completely new Internet-based business model that alters the dynamics of the traditional telecom industry,” said Sprint’s president for the Xohm business unit Barry West, in a statement. “Wireless consumers will experience WiMAX device and XOHM service innovation on multiple levels as the computer, Internet, telecom, and consumer electronics industries converge to redefine wireless mobility.”

IE7: It’s Big, It’s Bold and it’s Surprisingly Good

Let’s face it, IE6 really wasn’t much of an improvement over IE5. Most people felt the only reason to move to IE6 was because it was free and it bundled a series of updates (mostly security updates) into a single package. Strangely enough, even though other browsers like Firefox, Opera, and Netscape have advanced in features substantially, IE6 has held its own and has at times taken market share back from the new browsers. This is largely because of compatibility. Companies, particularly for internal sites, often default to IE and the other browsers just didn’t work as well, forcing folks to grudgingly use IE some of the time. People just do not like to switch back and forth between similar products.
