Sprint’s XOHM, The Video
In the previous post I covered the importance of XOHM (Sprint’s WiMax service) and why you as a consumer and mobile enthusiast should be interested. Today, I bring you some additional details (from Sprint Blog, yes their blog) about this new service.
Below is video by Sprint executives Barry West (Chief Technology Officer and President, 4G Mobile Broadband) and Atish Gude (Senior Vice President, Mobile Broadband Operations) to their internal teams. The video clearly reflects Sprint’s commitment to this business unit and their vision around this space.
Barry West also has a vanity license plate on his Aston Martin labeled “XOHM”. I am not so sure if it’s a good idea to flaunt it in front of his employees. Sprint clearly is placing all its eggs in the WiMax basket. Its definitely nice to see such level of enthusiasm at the executive level.
Update: Sprint announced today that they will add New York to the list of cities, which will receive the broadband service in 2008. They chose Samsung as the partner for the NYC area.
