As far as I know, in trials and with recently announced handsets, Samsung is leading with Sprint, with Moto pullng up the rear. google.com google.com The real action is in SK and Japan however, and in no way does mobile WiMAX depend on Sprint's adoption, though it'd be a nice bonus evidently. My WAG on timing would be 2007 in SK and Japan and 2008 in US, with or without Sprint. Clearwire, Nextwave and others hold more than enough spectrum to build a nationwide network. In the end, India and China will be the biggest markets for Fixed and Mobile WiMAX, though some price declines will be needed before that materializes for the mobile version. Timing is more uncertain in this case, though if WiMAX chip price trends continue to follow WiFi's, than it will be much sooner than most realize.... Tom Morrow
