Nextel Broadband: Take Two?

Posted by timothy on from the future-unevenly-distributed dept.

Atryn writes "Many of you may recall the Nextel broadband trial of Flarion's Flash-OFDM Technology in Raleigh, N.C. last year. They have since shut down that trial. Now, Nextel has announced a new broadband trial of UMTS TD-CDMA in Washington, D.C. for this fall. Other coverage here and company press releases from Nextel and IP Wireless."

    They were "merged" with Sprint. Sprint is already going with EV-DO (like Verizon) for everything...Sprint is the "parent" company of the merger so I wouldn't be betting on anything from Nextel for a while...
