The smart thing is to deploy 802.16m. Sprint will really be a "winner" if they can give users over 100Mbits of upload and download before the other carriers siding with LTE corner the market. The one that makes broadband 100M wireless connections on a large scale in my opinion will win.

Mr.West and Mr. Hesse
The first comment above was mine. Thought I best explain my logic.
Just like the AIG party happened in tough economic times your celebration may be a bit premature and your ROI may be flat and the success of Xohm will be subject to the "Philadelphia Experiment".
Mr. West and Mr. Hesse I would like you to read this:
I am not the author nor am I affiliated with any carrier. I am simply a regular Joe living and working in the DC area that loves the idea of WiMAX and applaud the success of the engineers and staff that made this happen.
But as you both know people ain't buying if Sprint ain't as innovative as the other carriers. An increase in speed is CRITICAL if you really want to increase your profitability.

Again just a word of caution: Sprint is doomed ...if they don't make room for 802.16m deployments.
Now that'$ Gentlemen is the bottom-line.
This might threaten there talk time revenue.
I already use my EVDO to make phone calls over a magic jack phone. With Wi Max I could use the Magic Jack anywhere in a metro area. I hope they don't try to block it.
Baltimore Launch Event
I'm actually doing some work with XOHM right now. I'm in the DC area so it's exciting to have all this launching right around me. Here are some pictures from the launch event: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29689783@N07/sets/72157607899695273/
