From its conception, WiMAX has been engineered to be an open platform for mobile broadband Internet. Later this year, Sprint will release open APIs and a software development kit (SDK) so that hardware and software makers can develop solutions to take advantage of Sprint’s mobile WiMAX network. Both Barry West, Sprint’s CTO, and Atish Gude, the senior vice president of Xohm operations, have unequivocally confirmed these plans. “We’re going to be open on devices and open on applications,” said Gude. “We’re here to serve the Internet. Our foremost priority is providing really good access… This is the open Internet. We’re not going to block anybody.” |
