Comments on: Sprint WiMAX - it ain’t over yet http://blog.telecoms.com/2007/12/13/sprint-wimax-it-aint-over-yet/ Telecoms industry news and opinion Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:52:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.12-alpha by: Rudy McGrudy http://blog.telecoms.com/2007/12/13/sprint-wimax-it-aint-over-yet/#comment-530 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 16:46:54 +0000 http://blog.telecoms.com/2007/12/13/sprint-wimax-it-aint-over-yet/#comment-530 Sprint remains on track for 2008 WiMAX launch I just had a question on this article: Are you sure that they are really on track for 2008? If you go to Sprint's career website, https://careersearch.sprint.com/1033/ASP/TG/cim_advsearch.asp?ref=12132007105735 and search for xohm, it doesn't appear that they are hiring the amount of employees they would need to do anything but trial "soft" launch small parts of these cities. They do not have reps, they are still trying to hire regional managers and Techs to build the networks. When you compare it to the postings on Clearwire's career site it would almost look like Clearwire is expanding faster and could be the first to have a WiMax City. I live close to the Sprint headquarters in VA and see Clearwire Trucks there all the time, maybe their partnership isn't as dead as the media is making it out to be.
