Sprint’s WiMAX XOHM network still under attack

While the rest of the US waits for Sprint to finally go live with their WiMAX-based mobile broadband network, there are still some folks that would like nothing more than to see Sprint’s XOHM network crash on takeoff. Sprint’s deal with Clearwire has the ailing wireless carrier on schedule to launch their XOHM network this month (at least that’s what Sprint is saying), and the legal-waters are heating up for Sprint.

iPCS Inc. filed suit against Sprint, complaining that Sprint’s deal with Clearwire would violate iPCS’s exclusivity agreements with the No. 3 US wireless carrier. Sprint then moved to have the case dismissed or stayed. Unfortunately, Cook County Judge Kathleen M. Pantle denied Sprint’s motion on Monday, leaving open the road to litigation over Sprint’s WiMAX XOHM network.
