Sprint CTO Barry West is making the rounds this week explaining why the company's highly promoted Xohm (http://www.xohm.com/) service, which was supposed to be providing you with $40, 2-4Mbps wireless broadband by this point, is still sitting half-baked in the oven. According to the exec, the delays are caused by two things: backhauls and billing (http://telephonyonline.com/wimax/news/sprint-xohm-backhaul-0422/). West says finding high-capacity transport links (fiber, microwave) to connect cell sites has been harder than expected, given traditional T1's obviously won't handle the 30 Mb/s to 40 Mb/s of capacity pumped out by each access point.
