Just in case you think we're making a big to-do over nothing, get a load of just a miniscule fraction of the WiMax-is-here stories that hit the (cyber)pavement today, besides Gus' WiMax story, of course:

Here's the Associated Press' version on XOHM and WiMax.

InformationWeek picked up Gus' WiMax story and said: "The Baltimore launch is expected to be an important test bed for Sprint's planned partnership with Clearwire, which has been deploying fixed WiMax in various locations in the United States and globally. The new company will be called Clearwire, Sprint noted, adding that the combined company plans a nationwide WiMax network."

USA Today's WiMax story says: If Sprint can prove its WiMax case, consumers could win big, says Shahid Khan, a senior partner at IBB Consulting: "They'll have better services and better devices at better prices."

Here is InfoWorld's take on how well WiMax worked in a month-long test run.

The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) also says: Baltimore usually isn't considered a technology mecca. But many people in Silicon Valley, and other high-tech centers, will be watching closely to see what happens after Sprint Nextel Corp. flips the switch on a new wireless network Monday.

Engadget is asking readers how the WiMax launch is going in Baltimore.

See that, Baltimore? Doesn't that make you feel special? We're so geeky, we're cool.
