Sprint hopeful to take WiMAX live in Chicago by end of 2009
Engadget Mobile — ... unable to use, and if this all boils down to a delay due to a branding transition, that's a year of wheel-spinning buffoonery that Sprint and Clearwire really can't afford to waste -- especially with LTE pilot markets right around the corner.

Sprint WiMAX misses Chicago launch, now aiming for 2H 2009
Boy Genius Report — ... As WiMAX continues to dwell in Baltimore with a stunning lack of extended interest or supported devices, Sprint’s golden boy has failed to make an appearance as scheduled in Chicago. Sprint’s goal of launching WiMAX in Chicago by year-end 2008 seemed perfectly attainable; the network infrastructure was in place with time to spare and tech media is apparently still eager to give WiMAX, the next generation of wireless, plenty of coverage. Hitting a major metropolitan market like Chicago would have been a huge coup for Sprint and timing at the end of 2008 would ...

Sprint wants its WiMAX network running in Chicago by end of 2009
Obsessable News Feed — The Sprint vice president responsible for the company's WiMAX network told the Chicago Tribune that he hopes to switch on WiMAX coverage in Chicago in the latter half of 2009. WiMAX is a mobile internet technology; it can be used by all kinds of portable electronics from cell phones to laptops to access the internet over a wide-area wireless data network. The wide area in this case would be the city of Chicago. It's arguably similar to your cable or DSL broadband internet connection, but with no wires. Special hardware is needed in a computer or other ...

IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis — ... commercial market to offer Sprint’s WiMAX service. Chicago will just have to wait for their chance at WiMAX-glory. Sprint and Clearwire would do well to launch their WiMAX services in as many US metropolitan areas as possible. This is to be the breakout year for WiMAX, but we’ve yet to see a major push from Sprint. With LTE breathing down their throats, Sprint is letting their first-to-market advantage slip away by the day. [Via: EngadgetMobile and ChicagoTribune] Related News from IntoMobile: Sprint plans ...
