Sprint Nextel will delay the commercial launch of its Xohm WiMax service until later in the year, a spokesman said Wednesday. Sprint was originally scheduled to launch the service this month. But it will come later this year, said spokesman James Fisher. It’s the latest in a series of setbacks for the troubled company. Chatter at the CTIA Wireless trade show here suggests it will occur in the summer. Sprint had already disappointed many by failing to provide more details on WiMax during the show. Also, Sprint has been in talks with the cable companies to provide additional funding for the rollout and create a separate company with Clearwire, according to The Wall Street Journal. Sprint’s WiMax project has been a source of criticism from some on Wall Street, who would prefer the company focus on the core cellular business. Sprint currently has had soft launches in Chicago, D.C., and Baltimore, just incase you didnt know.
