The US company Sprint announced in August 2006 plans to develop and deploy a “first fourth generation (4G) nationwide broadband mobile network,” and stated that it chose Mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e aka - 2005) as a wireless technology to use . Subsequently, the company announced that Intel, Motorola and Samsung are working on mobile WiMAX chipsets, and LG, Samsung, Nokia, ZTE, are preparing devices that will be used in the new 4G network.
Sprint recently announced that Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington will be the first to use 4G for mobile WiMAX networks, and “new markets to be determined based on market readiness” By the end of 2008, the company plans to enter the following 19 markets with its partners:

The role of Mobile WiMAX
At the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco this week, LinuxDevices spoke with Ari Jaaksi, Nokia's director of open source technology development. Answering the question, “If a combination of VoIP and mobile WiMAX is possible, will this fundamentally change the mobile phone business?” Jaaksi replied: “WiMAX can change the whole network environment. However, it is a matter of technology maturity, and its cost. „
He added that he considered it important for Nokia to study new technologies, noting that “Linux is perfect for this.”
Jaaksi noted that the news about WiMAX will allow information about the Nokia Web tablet to be spread quite widely. He said that the new device is likely to get more publicity during the FCC approval process. However, he refused to tell any time frame when this might happen, as a mark of respect for Sprint.
Jaaksi declined to say whose production WiMAX chip is planned to be placed in the device. He said that the hardware integration of various WiMAX chips would be quite simple, calling it just a matter of inserting another chip into the tablet board.
“Nokia may also consider incorporating a cellular radio chip into the Linux-based Internet tablet in the future, Jaaksi replied:“ This is more a business model issue than a technology issue. ”
