It’s Official - Sprint Nextel to abandon the walled garden

At least that’s the plan for their new Xohm Wimax offering. There have been some mixed signals by Sprint execs on how open the network would actually be, but currently talking points are clearly declaring it open.

Rick Robinson, VP of products and services of xOhm, told attendees of the Play conference in Berkeley, Calif., that xOhm will tear down the walled gardens and do away with restricted access to the mobile Internet. “Xohm will tear down this wall. We will provide complete access to Internet from a WiMax enabled device,” he said.

Speaking at the CTIA conference in San Francisco last week, xOHM senior vice president, Atish Gude, highlighted the fact that operators deliver a smart network which allows open access to applications. Sprint provides the network elements — location, presence, security, quality of service, and bandwidth. The rest of the magic comes from device companies and app makers. (from Gigaom)

Short sighted investors and fund managers should take note. A national open broadband network could dominate the mobile space in a very short time. Not in weeks or months, but in a very few years.

It’s best for beginners to take a free web hosting service to first launch their website. In this way they can spend more on seo services. Later on, when your home business establishes more, you can afford a well paid hosting server easily. Paid hosting servers, like startlogic hosting servers are somewhat expensive.
