Sprint to Launch Baltimore WiMax Network In September
Personally think this might save the company
Being someone who lives between Baltimore and DC, I'm excited to hear this. I'm not the biggest fan of the iPhone (but am an Apple fan in general), but the iPhone really allowed people to start embracing data and the web on their phones.
If Sprint takes data speeds to the next level and the networks opens up so new devices can come on and access this network, I think Sprint could be in good shape.
Data really is something that's important to many, many more people than it was as of - a year ago?
I made quite a few posts on this and Sprint in general over at the Engadget post on this in case anyone's interested:

As a previous article mentioned (can't think of the source right now) being able to upload your pictures from your digital camera/slr/camcorder to your home computer or print shop directly from your device.. from anywhere within service range. Wimax built into car stereo/navigation systems... home appliances.. not just cell phones.
