Mobile WiMax may not make corporate connections
Can mobile WiMax work for business users who are looking for high-speed wireless Internet access? Sprint Nextel Corp. and financial backers that include Intel Corp. and Google Inc. think it can. But WiMax has some obvious limitations.
Would-be WiMax users find a shortcut
Wireless users in Baltimore are standing politely in line to sign up for just launched Sprint WiMax service, called XOHM, pronounced "zohm," at slightly better than the expected rate, according to Sprint executives.

Sprint hopeful on funding as WiMax rolls out
Adoption of Sprint Nextel's Xohm WiMax service has been better than expected since it launched in Baltimore on Sept. 29, and the carrier is confident it will be able to fund the rest of its national network rollout despite the current economic crisis, Sprint executives said Wednesday.
