Sprint May Launch WiMax in Baltimore 6-October
DSLReports has a tip that Sprint will launch its WiMax service in its first commercially available market on 6-Oct-2008: The site for the service should go live on 26-Sept, allowing sign ups. Pricing will likely be sub-$50. Speeds will likely be advertised as 2 to 4 Mbps with higher bursts. Long-time market watcher Karl Bode writes that backhaul issues appear to be sorted out, with Sprint having signed a number of new deals to ensure that their high-bandwidth WiMax sites can be fed with enough bites. Baltimore is one of what I believe are still three test markets that will go into commercial availability, albeit as much as a year after initial plans, and then months delayed after revised plans were announced. Still 2 to 4 Mbps is far above the level that current cell technology can achieve as a consistent range.

Dan is back. Hesse that is. Sprint (NYSE: S) Nextel's CEO is going all Hollywood again as the public face of Sprint in a new ad that will begin airing during this Sunday's Emmy Awards show, WSJ reports. Shortly after Hesse joined the struggling carrier nine months ago he appeared in an ad campaign last March to promote the Simply Everything plan that led to an industry-wide shift in flat-rate plans at the other carriers. This time he's hawking ReadyNow, a new service Sprint launched that gives customers one-on-time with a retail customer representative to get their cellphones setup with all their personal information and configured however they wish. "Truth is, technology's only great when you know how to use it," he says in the similar black-and-white commercial. "We want to help you get the most from these amazing devices. So come by a Sprint store for a personalized setup. You'll walk out an expert." Check out the best business jobs in digital media. Go here for paidContent.org Job Board.

T-Mobile G1 said to be landing October 17th, Sprint Android phone out by 2009?
Filed under: Handsets, HTC, Sprint, AndroidWe've already been hearing that the HTC G1 (otherwise known as the Dream) would be landing on T-Mobile in late October, but VentureBeat now claims that it has further pegged the actual release date down to October 17th (it'll apparently start shipping on the 13th), which would be a tad earlier than most had expected. What's more, the site is also citing "multiple sources" claiming that Sprint's own Android phone will "definitely" be out by 2009, and that it will have "other functionality" than the Dream / G1. Ah, the endless cycle of speculation. Place your bets, folks.[Via The Boy Genius Report]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
