Intersting, Jim. Thanks. More than just the story itself, it's more interesting to me to see WiBro highlighted in this account, which doesn't appear in other headlines I've come across during the past day. LightReading's Unstrung site addresses the subject and clarifies WiBro's presence in a late paragraph, while also making an interesting observation concerning the potential for incompatible platforms between Towerstream and Sprint-Nextel in the NYC Market, and one can also infer that incompatibilities would also result in other markets between still other service providers' platforms, over time. One can't help musing over whether this will result in yet another "mode" in the now-popular use of multi-modal devices. Thoughts? From: "Sprint & Samsung in NYC WiMax Push" AUGUST 27, 2007 \| Unstrung unstrung.com Samsung, meanwhile, helped to pioneer the ground-breaking domestic version of mobile WiMax -- WiBro -- in its home market of South Korea. All of which could make things interesting for the operator best known for running a WiMax service in NYC today -- TowerStream Corp. The business-focused, fixed-WiMax operator recently expanded service in New York. It is not clear, however, how much TowerStream's enterprise service and Sprint's more consumer-focused XOHM brand will overlap. ------
