Xohm Quietly Being Offered in Other Cities

Posted by Matthew Greensmith at 10:29 AM on October 6, 2008

After being formally and loudly introduced in Baltimore last week, Xohm has now quietly been turned on in six other major places: Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and northern Virginia.

As much nay-saying as there’s been about WiMax every coming to fruition, I’m pleasantly surprised by its current distribution and sudden growth. This gives me great hope that WiMax will indeed work, and be available in more and more places throughout the country as time goes by.

WiMax, to me, is the perfect solution to a pesky problem, and can be offered as easily in rural areas as in urban ones, and I live in a semi-rural area that is quickly becoming fully suburban. I figure if they can build a giganto Walmart on our existing infrastructure, then WiMax is more than possible.

Still crossing my fingers that this continues to take off.

    I can’t wait for this to roll out here in Chicago! It’s long over due and I’ll be one of the first to get on!
