Sprint Says Come Play on XOHM To Developers and Customers

Unlike the very locked down EVDO world, WiMax offers the promise to developers of a greenfield play.

When I read comments like this from Sprint I'm jazzed. But I'm also guarded as Sprint has always talked promise but then never delivered. If true to their word this could be a bonanza for many companies looking to really be part of the next generation of communications.

The prospect of an open platform means Sprint is looking at recreating what the Internet was supposed to be. A pipe with connected computers at the ends. Instead what we have are commercial service providers deciding what you can use, watch and accomplish.

I welcome this Brave New World....
