Sprint Nextel plans to launch its first commercial WiMAX service in
the Baltimore/DC area in September according to a speech made by Sprint CEO Dan Hesse at the NxtComm trade show in Las Vegas which will be before the Sprint/Clearwire merger.
Sprint will also launch WiMax service in two other cities, Chicago and
Washington, before the end of the year, Hesse said, but he did not specify by what date.
