It's on some big companies radar sooner than that according the the WSJ story - Sprint says it will be generally available to business mid 99, public late 99:

Several major business customers have signed up for ION, say Sprint executives. These include Coastal States Management; Ernst & Young LLP; Hallmark; Silicon Graphics; Sysco Corp.; and Tandy Corp. (which is Radio Shack's parent). "This will allow us to combine all of our traffic -- voice, data and video -- into one path," says Larry Hardin, Sysco's director of operations & communications. The giant Houston food distributor deals with other major carriers, he says, but none "have approached me with something this revolutionary."
