Re: Sounds great...
Sprint plans to rollout to 70m pops by end of next year and Clearwire to do about 30m, for a total of 100m by end of 2008. They will supposedly roam seamlessly to each other.
Sprint's map...
Clearwire's current fixed service, which will expand quite a bit next year to mobile...

Nearly all of the major markets should have WiMAX by end of 2008 to early 2009. EVDO will still be a decent backup for those who get a combo WiMAX/EVDO laptop card or phone. |

Earlier this year, Sprint awarded the network buildout contracts for Seattle, Portland and Denver to Nokia. »gigaom.com/2007/03/26/sprints-li···details/
But those cities don't even appear on the map you posted. Do you know what happened to the contract? Is the map from Xohm or did you get it from another source? |

I think the date of that article is before the agreement with Sprint/Clearwire to share the rollout and not overlay each other in a makret. I thought I've read Clearwire would be doing Portland/Seattle since they are already there with fixed WiMAX. |
