Yeah, tell me all about AT&T’s WiMax (4G Service). For some strange reason Alaska was the test area for WiMax. They were installing it in Anchorage, Juneau, and Fairbanks. They were offering an WiMax unit for $20/month. Of course to get that price you also had to purchase local and long-distance service. Thought it sounded like a pretty good service as I could take the receiver with me when I traveled. But, when I visited the distributer of the WiMax units I found out they were way behind in building the necessary tower infrastructure. The service only works in portions in each city. My house was in a dead zone.

We already have our WiMax built out here in Chicago. But then again, Sprint already had more 3G coverage than AT&T, so there’s no reason why we should not have more and better 4G coverage as well.
