We were just invited to Sprint Nextel’s first WiMax launch on Oct. 8 in Baltimore. The event, hosted by Intel (NSDQ: INTC), Sprint (NYSE: S) Nextel and several others, says it will include brand new technology from leading OEMs, and will also feature WiMAX demonstrations throughout the Bond Street Wharf Park area. Execs on hand will include Sprint’s CEO Dan Hesse and CTO Barry West and Intel VP Sean Maloney. The tagline being used for the event is: “WiMax. A Hotspot As Big As A City.” Of course, the launch was expected as early as September. Next on Sprint’s list is to roll-out service in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Boston, Philadelphia and Dallas/Fort Worth.
