WiMax Finally Available... In 2008... In Baltimore

For years and years we used to make fun of the press and analysts for either saying that WiMax existed when it did not or for predicting huge uptake before the tech was even ready. Plenty of companies offered wireless broadband, but it was not WiMax, no matter what they (or the press) called it. Back in 2003, we even made a pretty clear prediction: WiMax would not be ready for prime time until 2008, going against plenty of analysts who insisted it would be the big thing in 2004. And 2005. And 2006. And 2007. So, it's nice to see Sprint squeeze in the launch of its WiMax Xohm service before the end of 2008, and make our prediction accurate. Of course, those analysts who predicted huge WiMax success stories in 2004 have moved on and have already declared WiMax dead, and now LTE is the huge success story to watch out for.

Nokia N810 WiMAX Tablet now available, works only in the US

Nokia has begun selling the N810 WiMAX Tablet in the US. With the rollout of WiMAX service around the world (Sprint’s Xohm service in Baltimore, WorldMax’s Aerea in Amsterdam), a number of hardware manufacturers have begun selling devices that take advantage of WiMAX networks. The problem is that if they have a built-in WiMAX chip, it does not mean the laptop or tablet will work in another country that uses a different frequency for WiMAX. Example: the N810 WiMAX Tablet on sale in the US uses the 2.5 GHz frequency.
