Today, I appeared on WYPR 88.1fm public radio. The show hosted by Sheilah Kast is one of the best talk show hosts on public radio! I sat down with Nathan Sturner who interviewed me about WiMax in Baltimore. At this point I have had the service for about a day and have had a chance to begin some testing of the new wireless service – so far it’s been awesome when you get a great signal it’s blazingly faster than alternatives. In some ares of the city it was a bit spotty which is expected for any new network. Currently they have about 180 base stations in the baltimore and have about 70% of Baltimore covered, so there’s plentyof growth still to come here. In case you didn’t know Baltimore, is the 1st U.S. city to have WiMax and that has put Baltimore on the “global techie-map”. I recall being in Seoul Korea about 3 years ago wehere I tested a service called WiBro on the WiBro bus and I vividly recall how explosive this technology would be and the promise it would bring for new devices and applications back then. It’s great to see pieces of that type of technology finally shoing up in the U.S. 

The show podcast will be here shorly, come back soon to listen!
