As before, the WiMAX network promises speeds between 3Mbps to 6Mbps for downloads in real-world use, which should bring VoIP, video and other tasks that are normally too data-intensive for 3G networks."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1258395570.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>The Sprint expansion continues, adding Austin to the 4G coverage areas. They only have one plan, for $70.00 USD per month for unlimited access on the 4G network or 5GB limit on the 3G access. If you are a traveler, you can get a "day pass" and access 4G for $10.00 USD per day. If curious, you can check out the coverage map <a href="http://nextelonline.nextel.com/en/stores/popups/4G_coverage_popup.shtml" target="_blank">here</a>. Too bad I'm just at the outskirts of Portland or I might try this. </p>
