No kidding. Sprint originally expected to have 100 million subscribers for its Xohm WiMAX service by the end of 2009. It now says it won't make that goal, and nobody is surprised.
Xohm, slated to deliver mobile broadband services of 2 Mbps to 4Mbps, for $40 to $50 a month, is slated to launch on a more or less full deployment basis in three cities this spring (Baltimore, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.). There's no conceivable way any new service of this sort, selling into a nearly-saturated broadband access market, is going to get that kind of traction so fast.
