    Are you ready to rock and xohm? Are you and your family xohmin’? Are you xohming like a… homing pigeon? If you answered any of these questions with a resounding “Xyes” then Sprint Nextel has something special for you.

    Enter Xohm, their WiMAX solution which should be announced later today. It xounds like “home” but with a z and the reaxon there’s an x in there ix becauxe “The X-factor makes it cool.” Mmmhmm.

    The new service, which should reach market saturation by the end of 2008, will run at about 2Mbps over the air with a potential maximum of 4Mbps — these are obviously in ideal conditions without interference. No pricing or real availability, xo i guexx we have to wait.
