Currently Sprint doesn&#8217;t support a USB modem for Macs (but I&#8217;m assured that one is coming, likely in time for the holidays), which means I need a PC to activate my modem on. But then I can use a <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2009\/10\/30\/novatels-big-fat-mifi-bet\/\">personal hotspot <\/a>product that converts the WiMAX signal to Wi-Fi to test it out on my MacBook (and iPod Touch)! So send me your questions, concerns and anything else WiMAX-related, and I&#8217;ll try to address them or get them answered. Personally, I want to see if this is something I could <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2009\/08\/13\/will-4g-wireless-really-threaten-wires\/\">replace my wired connection<\/a> with, or if it&#8217;s really just what I&#8217;d use instead of my 3G MiFi while I wait for LTE.<\/p>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?w=780\" \/><\/div><div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=H1DlYxtl6Zc:sUc6Cn1qc28:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=H1DlYxtl6Zc:sUc6Cn1qc28:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?i=H1DlYxtl6Zc:sUc6Cn1qc28:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=H1DlYxtl6Zc:sUc6Cn1qc28:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?i=H1DlYxtl6Zc:sUc6Cn1qc28:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=H1DlYxtl6Zc:sUc6Cn1qc28:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=H1DlYxtl6Zc:sUc6Cn1qc28:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?i=H1DlYxtl6Zc:sUc6Cn1qc28:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/OmMalik\/~4\/H1DlYxtl6Zc\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sprint announced WiMAX service today in San Antonio and my hometown of Austin, Texas, so this is just to tell y&#8217;all I&#8217;m playing with a modem and will be letting folks know how it all works, once I activate the darn thing.
